Free Trade: McCain

Here is the link to the free trade part of Senator McCain's campaign web site.
Senator John McCain is pretty simple on free trade. He agree's with Sen. Obama that we need to utilize our Community College's better to re-train people for different jobs as our country continues to diversify the more we globalize. To be fair real quick, neither candidate actually originated this concept. It was another Democrat at some sort of convention a couple years ago. I apologize for not having the exact source.

Mr. McCain is essentially for free trade as it currently stands -with even less governmental interference. He'll take NAFTA and other trade agreements as is unless he can improve them but he has made no claim to re-negotiate or cancel any trade agreement. Mr. McCain's campaign web site seems to take free trade more seriously with it having much more details.

John McCain Will Push To Ratify The Colombia Free Trade Agreement. American exporters now pay an extra $3.5 million in tariffs each day because we don't have a completed trade agreement with Colombia.
John McCain Supports A Free Trade Agreement With South Korea. America exports nearly $50 billion in goods to South Korea, a key ally that deployed the third-largest contingent of troops to Iraq, and assisted in the rebuilding of Afghanistan.
John McCain Will Seek An End To All Agricultural Tariffs, And To All Farm Subsidies That Are Not Based On Clear Need.
John McCain Will Open Foreign Markets Across The World To American Farmers. The biggest obstacle to this goal, however, is not to be found in any foreign market, or in the policies of any other government. It's in the United States Congress, in the billions of dollars in subsidies served up every five years to corporate farmers.

John McCain Opposes The $300 Billion Farm Bill. John McCain opposes providing billions to subsidize large commercial farms with an average income of $200,000, and an average net worth of $2 million...

It seems McCain's opinion is that the more free trade agreements this country has the sooner this country see's more and more benefits from it. A free trade agreement with South Korea is a very new idea and considering the huge out cry against our US beef being imported to South Korea it would probably be an interesting political uphill battle. Although, maybe one would be easy if we just said "free trade without our beef". A free trade agreement with Columbia is fairly controversial in Washington but it probably needs to happen sooner rather than later. It is alleged by Sen. McCain that Mr. Obama is against such a thing but can't find any concrete proof of this.
