"When Congress voted on the North American Free Trade Agreement in 1993, our trade deficit with Canada and Mexico was $8 billion. Now its $115 billion."
I prefer any free trade agreement that diminishes the ability of government to regulate the business of free people.
Free trade is kryptonite to big, centralized government.
The feds are putting a regulatory tariff on US businesses; giving them a trade agreement is giving the feds more power at the expense of independent machine shops, metal finishers, farmers, etc..
I was for CAFTA until I studied it. Get the data sheet on CAFTA; it's in the July newsletter at thotline.com.
Read it, then look at what the feds are doing to the US.
