Obama and Republicans work together in trade pacts

In the harsh economic times America faces today, our government and president are desperately looking for solutions. According to a Reuters source, a preexisting and pragmatic solution has finally flowered in the form of trade. The attempted relief consists of a trade pact with three different countries: South Korea, Columbia and Panama. The trade pact was previously pushed back in 2009 but denied by the majority of democrats in Congress at the time. Recently, the deal has been negotiated between the Republicans and an amenable Obama and is not submitted to Congress for an official approval. The expectations and hopes of the pact is for it to spur new and growing jobs in order to relieve the economy as well as to build good international relations overseas. The article offers ample information concerning the pact and what its predicted benefits on the United States will be. What is interesting about the piece is that it gives both sides of the story, including both the Republicans’ and the Democrats’ perspective and how they are finally meshing to yield a productive result. The article is relevant to society and me personally on many facets but especially in terms of economic aid and effectiveness. The greatest detrimental impact effecting not only peoples my age but from all spans of citizenry is the recession. This particular article stuck out to me and reached into my zone of interest due to its inherent importance and uniqueness. The article provides a solution to a bleeding wound and does it in a logical and realistic fashion.
