I guess to say the argument is valid, you'd really have to know the net job loss this agreement might cause, or if there even really is one...

And who cares if profits are split with a holder in Russia? Hell, we already give much of our wealth to China and Saudia Arabia!

I couldn't tell you the %. As i mentioned GM was using windshields made in Brazil 20 years ago, so this is nothing new.

The report i heard on the news was a loss of 1200 jobs.
Not a lot,I guess, by today's job losses, unless of course you are one of the 1200.

Ya you are right, we already give China and Saudi Arabia much of our wealth,
are you saying we should give the rest of it away too, or split it amongst ourselves and pay down our debt

Americans need to take care of Americans first, and make it easier to keep jobs here by having less regulation and taxes.
