Bill Moyers essay on free trade
http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/10192007/transcript3.html


When President Bush came into office in 2001 the U.S. had trade agreements in force with three countries. Now the number is fourteen. Like Bill Clinton before him this president is an evangelist for the gospel of free trade. A true believer.

But the congregation is growing restless. Increasing numbers of Americans have come to believe that free trade is not fair trade. So the President's having to make many more pitches to try to sell some trade agreements he wants with Latin American countries. He's been out like a Methodist circuit rider trying to win new converts.

He was in Miami last week making the case.
