CAFTA can fail if US Citizens who opposed to such trade agreements would go ahead and pay the higher costs of USA made goods, when possible. We need to support US Industry- not play nanny to Countries who are capable of helping themselves.
CAFTA and NAFTA are purely political and drive up costs to US Citizens. Why are US Citizens giving in to what I can only call blackmail? We should demand that point of origin be placed on all products so we can buy products produced in the USA whenever possible and not accidentally support foreign regimes.
But..but CAFTA is goooooood.....baaaa baaaa went the sheep
"Why are US Citizens giving in to what I can only call blackmail? "
American citizens (as a whole) aren't giving up. Most citizens aren't even aware of what's going on because it's not on the news. Our elected representatives are aware but you know what kind of smokey backroom deals go on in Washington. Many of our representatives only think of the gravy train they're on and not of their responsibilities to the nation. CAFTA is a sellout, pure and simple, with only the elites profiting from it.
