US House passes Central American trade pact

I'm very disappointed that Cafta passed the House. Cafta=Shafta!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives narrowly approved a free-trade agreement with Central America on Thursday, handing
President Bush a hard-fought victory in difficult times for efforts to expand global trade.

The Republican-controlled House voted 217-215 in favor of the U.S.-Central American Free Trade Agreement.

Snip

Only 15 of the House's 202 Democrats backed CAFTA, and 27 Republicans opposed it.
