Bush encouraged Congress to pass the free trade agreement with Colombia in his January 20th speech. However, he admitted that free trade costs Americans jobs. Thanks George!

Ever checked your recent flower purchases? It will probably say "product of Colombia". Do you know the dirty little secret of Colombian flowers?

Your government spent your tax money encouraging Colombia to develop a flower industry to get the country off of drug production. OK BUT these flowers are produced just a few miles from Bogota's airport where there is little drug production. This program helped to all but kill California and Colorado's rose production industry. It has done little to stop Colombia's drug trafficking. If Congress does not approve free trade with Colombia this rose industry in Colombia might be shut down?

BTW The Colombian government is paying a Washington lobbyist group $80,000 a month to get Congress to say yes to this free trade agreement.

Another NAFTA but since China has the cheapest labor it probably will not matter much anyway. Anyway look at how your government spends your tax money in Colombia!
