I'm shocked, frankly, to see the White House say this. But it's great to see. People who oppose trade agreements because they hurt jobs should support less regulation of businesses: lower corporate tax rates, fewer regulations, easier compliance with necessary regulations, and delicensing of most occupations.
All that will do far more for American jobs that opposing trade deals (the effect of which on jobs is unclear anyway).
