In the last presidential campaign, both candidates made a point of saying they would add more jobs, especially manufacturing jobs. But in the last three decades, both parties and all presidents have supported "Free Trade" agreements which have decimated American manufacturing. These agreements enable American companies to send manufacturing to other countries where there are low wages, no unions, and little or no environmental protection. These companies then bring the manufactured goods back to this country duty free.
These agreements are:
NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement - Mexico, Canada) 1994, Clinton
PNTR (Permanent Normal Trade Relations) China, 2000, Clinton
Dominican Republic-Central America-United States Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR) 2004, Bush
United States-Chile Free Trade Agreement (FTA), 2004, Bush
United States - Morocco FTA, 2004, Bush
United States-Singapore Free Trade Agreement, 2004, Bush
United States-Australia Free Trade Agreement (FTA), 2005, Bush
United States-Bahrain FTA, 2006, Bush
United States-Peru Trade Promotion Agreement (PTPA), 2006, Bush
United States-Oman FTA, 2009, Bush
United States-Jordan Free Trade Agreement 2010, Obama
US-Korea Trade Agreement, 2011, Obama
US-Panama Trade Agreement, 2011, Obama
US-Columbia Trade Agreement, 2011, Obama
Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement, (Australia, Brunei, Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, Vietnam, and the United States) in negotiation, Obama
A United States - Israel FTA was initialized in 1985.
