Robert P. Casey Jr. rejects free trade agreements because he believes that they will lead to loss in PA jobs. Certain firms will benifit but it leaves the American firms unprotected. It opens up trade with Columbia, and South Korea, free trade that has more negative affects than good ones for America. This is part of Obamas Jobs Bill, Casey is strongly against this free trade agreement. Casey also believes that it would harm unions and currency manipulation by South Korea. This is interesting to me because Bob Casey is a Democrat and I always thought no one disagrees with President Obama. From what I have seen on Meet The Press and other political shows, most Democrats on the show praise Obama so it was nice to since Casey as a Democrat go against the tide.
11/3/11 Casey released this statement on Rebuild America Jobs Acts. “Pennsylvania roads and bridges are in need of repair and new construction jobs will put Pennsylvanians back to work. Two different approaches to rebuilding infrastructure were defeated today in the Senate. I am encouraged that bipartisan talks are ongoing to find additional solutions to repair roads and bridges in Pennsylvania and across the country. I hope that the Senate can come together soon to create jobs and rebuild our infrastructure.”
