“Union groups and some Democrats have opposed the bills, expressing doubt that they would create jobs.”

And they don't create jobs, has been proven over and over. You cannot have Free trade agreements with bogus free traders. It doesn't work.
This is a win for the walmarts and GE's.

#2 I would guess a win for 2 of the USA largest corporations is a pretty good thing.

Just one question, does Walmart sell anything made in USA? If you visit one of this stores around the globe you will see many of their products are Chinese made. Yes is pretty good for the corporations.... and China.

Marcos, nevermind, there are some fake conservative suckups here who enjoy to give more bailouts to the banksters and more free rides for big corporations. Those tools really believe they are part of the “club” (whatever that is), because those junkies will never understand that they are selling out the people in the US for cheap labor. Obozo broke again another promise, but hey, what's new huh from a puppet.

Fido, US used to have Steve Jobs, Johnny Cash and Bob Hope.
Now they don't have jobs, cash nor hope.
