Yeah, it was. It was a deal designed to screw Americans.

What each of these solutions has in common is a heavy-handed government that imposes its will at the price of consumer freedom.

Because what we have now is a liberal paradise?

Yesterday, I asked Michael Boskin, former chief economist under President Bush in the early 1990s

Said without a scintilla of irony or self-awareness whatsoever. ;)

hey, NR, you’re as welcome around here as salon and vox.

Go @#$#@$ yourselves.

Oh, and by the way, your company is headed towards bankruptcy over the next few years.

Good move getting rid of all your readers. Good business plan.

It is time that the USA stop taking it in the shorts. It is time to stop taxing our business and industry out of existence. It is time we had trade parity with the rest of the world. It is time......

Free trade will open markets for American goods!

Sure, we’ll sell a couple more bulldozers and jets. Millions of jobs will be offshored, but those weren’t great jobs to begin with, here, wear this green apron and call yourself a barista, it’s a much better job.

Once again, the framers of the constitution are proved economic geniuses. Federal funding through tariffs was the way to go, and gosh, not enough money to do x? Maybe that’s also because you’re not authorized to do x, so why do you need funds to do that?

There is no known case for “free trade” under conditions where both capital and population are internationally mobile.

Not that NAFTA is free trade to begin with, but there’s the biggest fallacy of this debate.

If capital and population are mobile, “free trade” is a race to the bottom - and we have overwhelming evidence from our post-NAFTA experience that this is the case.

Among other disastrous results for America, NAFTA indirectly helped get Bill Clinton elected to the Presidency.
