	Jim Barksdale on Free Trade

Rewrite trade deals to give US workers a level playing field

On issue after issue, from the pharmaceutical giveaways, bailouts to bad actors on Wall Street, bad foreign trade deals that harm wages and job opportunities in Georgia and across America, to the Washington crowd's inability to pass comprehensive immigration reform, our elected leaders in Washington are doing the bidding of the special interests and their lobbyists rather than listening to people.

Bad Foreign Trade Deals: For too long bad foreign trade deals have been written without giving American workers a level playing field.
Wasteful spending: It's time we audit the Federal Government and weed out double-spending, reduce overlapping programs, simplify the nearly 75,000-page tax code1 and eliminate tax loopholes that do not help our economy.
