The Doha round of talks, as they are known, are aimed at reducing trade barriers and aiding developing countries to promote free trade. The main sticking points surround the demand by developing nations for the richer ones to receive lower agricultural subsidies while industrialised nations are asking for countries with emerging markets to reduce import duties.

The failure of the Congress to take up and approve this agreement is a reminder why 80% of American's think this country's on the wrong track.

Like the Energizer Bunny, their hope keeps going, and going, and going...but, when will they learn? These policies aren't for them. Like the Soup Nazi on the Seinfeld sitcom, I feel like shouting, "No soup for you!" These policies are not for you, my Latin American brothers and sisters. Policies like NAFTA, (or similar free trade agreements) are rarely what they're cracked up to be.</p> <p>A recent article on the Inter Press Service website claimed the agreement was ratified with hardly any debate. Surprised? Confused? Wondering how people might vote for such a policy that didn't benefit them? Well, chances are, they probably didn't.</p> <p></p> </div> <a href="/blog/27899-yet-another-example-of-an-unsuccessful-free-trade-agreement">Continue reading</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/26957-ron-paul-revolution-theme-song 2008-10-18T09:30:53Z chucksheen <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9q1tVjhVMG8&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9q1tVjhVMG8&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/26957-ron-paul-revolution-theme-song"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/28990" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p></p> </div> <a href="/blog/26957-ron-paul-revolution-theme-song">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/25787-john-edwards-economic-stimulus-plan-cnn-debate-1-21-08 2008-10-17T09:31:44Z NCDem Amy <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qs36vQmiTvA&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qs36vQmiTvA&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/25787-john-edwards-economic-stimulus-plan-cnn-debate-1-21-08"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/27811" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Edwards discusses his economic stimulus plan at the CNN SC Debate</p> </div> <a href="/blog/25787-john-edwards-economic-stimulus-plan-cnn-debate-1-21-08">Watch the video</a>
