23. You know what gets me about the the trade thing
Fri Jul 22, 2016, 09:24 PM
Jul 2016

Is we NEED trade agreements, and a world economy needs us to share our wealth in trade agreements, and if we don't participate in the forming of them, we don't get a strong say. What is the alternative to TPP? NAFTA?

I find the TPP problematic, but I also have very little true understanding of international trade.

Kaine's voting record on abortion is fine for me--I don't think he will be forming reproductive policy anyway. He evolved on Gay rights as well, and is on the right page now.
