Currently there are three major Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) pending before Congress with Colombia, Panama, and South Korea. These agreements, negotiated by the Bush administration, will provide new markets for rural Oklahoma's agricultural products and increase the productivity of the United States. This translates to more jobs for Americans, especially those in rural America. It is unacceptable that the liberals who currently control Congress have not chosen to make these a priority. Failing to enact these agreements not only hurts America's economy, but is hampering productivity in rural America.
