John Edwards told a New Hampshire audience, last week, that currency
manipulation must be addressed in new trade agreements. Yes, I
know. You say candidate statements mean nothing. But
getting these issues higher prominence is always good.
Many powerful Dems in Congress want to foist trade agreements on
us with so-called labor and environmental provisions in them.
Even if enforceable, no jobs, factories or farms would be saved.
Our trade imbalance would continue tanking.
Many powerful Republicans in Congress want to foist trade agreements on us without - in otherwords more of the same.
Many
newly elected Dems from November told Charlie Rangel that if they were
made to vote for Fast Track, they would not be re-elected.
Duncan
Hunter, Republican candidate for president, has been forceful on the
currency manipulation issue. It is a high priority issue for his
campaign. Obviously, Hunter has not caught on among the public
and is a third tier candidate.
John Edwards' statement on the campaign trail is positive.

For some of them, the losses will be significant but not crippling; for others, their entire financial future has gone down the drain. Several charities let the allure of high returns undo the generosity of donors and their ability to perform their mission.
