Eric Deaton on Free Trade

Free trade agreements have destroyed our economy

Q: Do you support the United States' involvement in free trade agreements?

A: No. These free trade agreements have destroyed our jobs and economy. They have allowed for the export of our innovation & technology and will continue to destroy our nation. We need fair trade agreements, not free trade agreements. We must start protecting our native jobs, intellectual property and our manufacturing jobs.
