I know this has been discussed before but with the current abysmal employment situation, do you think NAFTA should be repealed?
I'm beginning to waver on my usual answer of "NO". I'm not so sure any longer.

I'm just having doubts now because of the huge employment problem. |

It only benefits those doing the trading and the US manufacturing jobs are eliminated which is a main cause of our cash in the economy to evaporate. Thats why we have to keep on printing money to fill the cash void. In other words, the money is leaving the US and not recirculating here. This situation is only temporary. It can only get worse for American workers. The loss of factory jobs in the US is a gaurenteed failure of the US econmy for a very large percentage of Americans. As usual, only the wealthy, Democrat or Republican, benefit. We, the American people, are being forced to accept a society with two classes now. The huge middle class of the 50s and 60s is quickly evaporating creating a huge and pissed off poor class. Thats my take on it. The election of Obama is just a smoke screen for continuation of the same old game. So yes, trash NAFTA. Even Bill Clinton said exactly this just a few days ago. |

Many people think that there are only people who work in offices. I really feel we import a hell of a lot more than we export. |

Im not sure but I think I saw last year that China only buys a TENTH 1/10 of what we buy from them. Thats why some rules with trading are important. This cant even be called trade if they dont buy our goods. Its lunacy. |
