IT'S JUST ONE TRADE DEAL AFTER ANOTHER WITH THIS GUY (via Kevin Whited):

Government, U.S. Reach Free Trade Agreement (LA Times, October 4, 2005

The United States and Oman finished negotiations on a free trade pact, part of the Bush administration's efforts to establish a Mideast free trade area by 2013. [...]

Under the deal, all trade in industrial and consumer products would become duty-free as soon as the agreement took effect, with agricultural tariffs phased out over 10 years.

Steel tariffs! Steel tariffs!

What about the steel tariffs???

Matt - I'm sure there is someone somewhere running a spreadsheet to compare the impact of the steel tariffs to the free trade deals Bush has signed and will not rest until the number turns positive.

It's always been a problem for the Right and the Left. The Left will make any compromise to get closer to their goals, and the Right sees any compromise as treason. It's why the communists joined the democrats and pulled them to the left, and the libertains left the republicans and saw them pulled to the left. It would be almost cute if the end of the game was not slavery and death....
