86. Why do people ignore the NAFTA elephant in the room?
Edited on Sun May-18-08 10:08 AM by mac2
Not one candidate says they they will negate those illegal trade deals since they have harmed our country. We always loose. Everything comes in but little goes out causing huge debt and jobs gone off-shore.

To claim they will "improve workers rights and environmental" problems is just plain blather. They can't do that in this country let alone 3rd world countries such as China. That's no promise of good things to come for us...it's just a delaying tactic to get them elected to power.

It's the economy stupid.

Congress has illegally given away their powers over trade to the President and his unelected trade representatives who meet behind closed doors. The Constitution serves the people not the President's Empire Building and profit agenda.
