They said it would improve the Mexican economy thereby ending illegal immigration, how is that working out?

Yeah, it was. It was a deal designed to screw working Americans, enrich the GOPe and their pundits who write lies like this National Review bs article.

Yeah, but NAFTA and the rest was the heavy hand of government also.
It created the giant sucking sound of our jobs leaving.

With them went our innovation and problem solving and our R&D: those are driven to solve problems in the manufacturing process [in large measure]which you no longer have.

Now we swap increasingly worthless $$’s for tee shirts and tacos while the “heavy hand of government” tells you how much better off you are.

Quit pissing on my leg and telling me its raining.

NAFTA was not a bad deal for the effete scribblers at National Review. Didn’t affect them one bit.

But then the only time that they get their hands dirty at work is when the frosting on their Little Debbie snack cakes sticks to their fingers.

Yeah because we now have a country that does not have the ability to manufacture some of the most essential products. We are very vulnerable because of this and the middle class is out of good jobs.

National Review? Wasn’t there once an influential news magazine known as National Review? That sure seems like a long time ago.

skimming foreign remittance

Is that what paying income taxes is called?

Illegals working under the table are not having taxes with held like the rest of us. A tax on remittances is simply a second attempt at getting them to play the game straight up like the rest of us.

National Review? Since Buckley died, they’ve never been right about anything, ever. I’m surprised they still exist, they are entirely without any value or insight whatsoever. Dead mag walking.

What an idiot. Nafta was an awful deal.

Perot was right: “a giant sucking sound” as American jobs whooshed south.

And these nimrods never mention the jobs that disappear because the base manufacturing jobs disappear. The suppliers depart, transportation is halved, housing dries up, retailers shrink, service businesses lose. It’s a whole chain of jobs that relate to manufacturing.

That’s one reason that replacing the income tax with a national sales tax makes so much sense. If you buy, then you pay.

Free Trade is good. But it also needs to be fair trade!
Thats what Trump has been saying since day one!
NRO needs an exorcism. Starting with Rich Lowry!
