Posted by: Macondo 2 years, 7 months ago

Great cartoon by Morin in The Miami Herald. Masterpiece of humor showing our trading position before China. It interesting how our Congress is questioning treaties of trade with Colombia, Panama, Peru and S Korea arguing problems with human rights and labor unions. Why not with China??

    The overzealous position of N. Pelosi, C. Rangel and other mostly Democratic congress people and representatives, before The Free Trade Agreement is risking our good relations with some of the Latin American countries and S. Korea.

    Why a relaxed standard for China? This cartoon says it all.

        Edinbug,

        You hit the nail right on the head!

        The darkest chapter in the history of our nation will be the eight years of moral, intellectual, spiritual and economic depravity. Nothing can even come close to this abyss, this malaise that George Sr. talked about all the time.

        It is a shame that we let this happen to us!

        This period will be like a Katrina that went on for eight years, leaving behind everything in total destruction!

          Thanks for the great cartoon, Macondo.

          There must be more to these trade deals than is disclosed to the public? I have seen children make better deals. Both sides of the trade deals should be balanced.

            Macondo, This is so true. We have a bad habit of sleeping with the enemy. I can not understand why our government keeps giving to the enemy. We are probably paying them to blow us up also.

              Hey since Al Gore's book and movie made some serious coinage, does that mean there's been a "market decision" on global warming? LOL

                Great cartoon, I wish I could say it is funny but it is too true to be funny.
