Should the US and the EU have a free trade agreement?

I think they should, a free trade agreement between the EU and the US could boost US and EU economic growth by more than $100 billion annually, and it could also add $420 billion per year to the global economy and create some two million jobs. 

What do you guys think, good idea or bad idea?

I vote no because, being a U.S. citizen, we would make less $$$ as we export more to Europe then import.

The falling Dollar is a two edge sword it makes exporting cheaper but makes importing goods more expensive and unfortunately the US Imports alot more than it exports.

Definitely.

[QUOTE="deeliman"][QUOTE="outworld222"] The value of the dollar would go down. China exports their products here, look how strong the dollar is compared to the RMB.Newhopes

[QUOTE="deeliman"] The value of the dollar going down is actually a good thing, as it makes their exports more competitive. Oh, and BTW, the US imports more from the EU then it exports to it. Barbariser

And thats one of the problems and the reasons the US dollar and economy is at risk of collapsing many countries are moving away from the dollar as a reserve currency.
