Congress strikes a blow for freedom

The Central American Free Trade Agreement passed the house last night on a 217-215 vote causing quite a stir in the media.

I cannot imagine what the 215 who voted no were thinking.

CAFTA is a way for us to help the disadvantaged in the world and, at the same time, help consumers in the USA - all of us. A no vote would have signaled the decline of the USA in the world. Passage indicates to the world that the USA is still interested in freedom, capitalism and prosperity for all.

Now, in order to reap the fruits of this agreement, the entrepreneurial class must engage the Central American economies in trade.
