“the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Ryan) mentions freedom. Another word or phrase that is thrown around here a lot is Christian values and fair play and morality. And when we pass a trade agreement that throws American workers in these numbers out of jobs and then exploits a worker that the gentlewoman from Ohio (Ms. Kaptur) talked about making 12 cents that makes a product that sells in the United States for $20, what kind of exploitation, what kind of family values, what kind of morality that does describe our actions? Yet, it is pretty clear to an awful lot of people in this body, I think, and it is pretty clear to a whole lot of Americans that the values that we hold dear, no matter what your religion or your faith, if your religion or your faith is based on our country doing the right thing, it simply does not fit, to pass a trade agreement that costs people these kinds of jobs, that exploits the most defenseless people in the developing world, the people that the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Ryan) says are trapped, the women that the gentlewoman from Ohio (Ms. Kaptur) describes, and then go home and talk about practicing our faith and family values and morality. It just does not work.”
