Words: Clinton believes we should maximize the benefits of the global economy but minimize the impact on American workers and advocates real trade adjustment assistance. “I believe in smart trade. Pro-American trade. Trade that has labor and environmental standards, that’s not a race to the bottom but tries to lift up not only American workers but also workers around the world.”

Actions: Clinton voted FOR extending free trade to Vietnam (2001), Andean nations (2002), Chile (2003), Singapore (2003), and Oman (2006), and AGAINST implementing CAFTA. The CATO Institute Center for Trade Policy Studies has given Clinton a rating of 42%.

UPDATE: Speaking on CNBC, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton called for action to address the growing vulnerability to the US economy from our increasing foreign-held debt.

Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton appeared on the Fox Business Network this afternoon. She discussed foreign investment concerns with Stuart Varney and Degan McDowell.
