NAFTA

Enough has not been said about NAFTA or its sequel FTAA. To hear Pres. Bush espouse the "benefits" of NAFTA turns my stomach. The only thing that NAFTA has done is to hurt U.S manufacturing. It allowed international corporations to close American factories and relocate them in Mexico. Thus leaving much unemployment and weakening our industrial base. The only ones to benefit were/are the corporate owners who increased their profit margins by escaping U.S. regulations and the fair salaries and benefits of their U.S. employees. The Mexicans in these factories still live in poverty, not much if any better off than they were before. So when Pres. Bush touts the "benefits" of NAFTA try not to regurgitate what you have eaten. You could be arrested as a biological terrorist.
