More on the law of unintended consequences
Most of Columbia's exports to the US enter duty free (no tariff on them). Most of the US exports to Columbia have a tariff (tax) on them making them more expensive.
The free trade agreement between the US and Columbia would remove most of the Colombian tariffs on US products thus making US exports cheaper there and so we can increase the sale of US products there. See how much the tariffs are costing US manufacturers.
The DEMOCRATIC Congress is opposed to the Colombian Free Trade Act because it will hurt American jobs.
Wait, increasing US exports to Columbia will hurt US workers??? Are these people that ignorant, stupid or blind? Enquiring minds want to know.
