US POLITICIANS  PROMOTE ECONOMIC ENSLAVEMENT , FOR EGYPT...According to Reuters, Representative David Dreier (R-CA) encouraged the Obama Administration to pursue trade talks with Egypt to assist during its democratic transition. A free trade agreement could help rival groups within Egypt agree on a common vision for the country, while promoting economic reforms that would open new opportunities for American business, Dreier suggested, adding “Engagement is now more important than ever.” He called on the U.S. and Egypt to start by updating “a very outdated bilateral investment treaty.”Dreier also insisted that Islamist political parties had serious interests in creating jobs: “They weren’t campaigning on a platform of abrogating agreements, treaties with Israel. They weren’t campaigning on an anti-West platform. … They were campaigning on one thing and one thing only, and that is they made a commitment that they would get the economy growing.” Due to the United States’ constrained budget, a free trade agreement would also provide an alternative way of helping Egypt during its transition, according to Dreier.

[SOME BACKROUND ON DREIER... http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=David_Dreier  Dreier voted for the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002 that started the Iraq War . In the fall of 2004, Dreier was formally "outed" in print by journalist Doug Ireland in an alternative newspaper, L.A. Weekly, in its issue of September 24-30, 2004.[1][2] The L.A. Weekly reported that Dreier has had a romantic relationship with his longtime (male) chief of staff, Brad W. Smith, who collects a $156,600 government salary for his services to Dreier. Smith collects the highest possible salary allowed by law for a committee staff member,[3], and is reportedly the highest-paid chief of staff working for any House of Representatives committee chair. ("By comparison," wrote Ireland, "the chief of staff to the chair of the House Judiciary Committee makes $126,000, while the chief of staff to the chair of the House Ways and Means Committee makes just $100,696.")
