Pretty much everything our government does is misnamed in true Orwellian fashion.

Although NAFTA is being promoted as a "free trade" agreement among the nations of Canada, Mexico, and the United States, it has much more to do with economic integration and eventual political merger than it does with what is termed genuine free trade.

Which is exactly what those of us who support free trade have always said about NAFTA. Free trade does not require an agreement. It is, by definition, unilateral.

H. Ross Perot named it correctly; “A giant sucking sound.”

When this POS treaty was being floated as an idea the fact that it would result in our factories being relocated to Mexico and our workers being sacrificed on the alter of globalism was never mentioned. Funny that.

From Hertiage, a big supporter of NAFTA back in the day.

The North American Free Trade Agreement: Ronald Reagan's Vision Realized

'...The NAFTA also will offer Americans cheaper goods, and increase U.S. exports by making them more affordable for the rest of the world. Moreover, it will create an estimated 200,000 new jobs for Americans, reduce illegal immigration from Mexico, help tackle drug trafficking, strengthen Mexican democracy and human rights, and serve as a model for the rest of the world.'

“... but there are an additional 348 pages of annexes...”

I think these annexes are what dispossessed the poorest farmers from their lands to enrich the oligarchs, prompting the massive illegal invasion of America from Mexico.

I remember Rush Limbaugh eulogizing NAFTA, and denouncing people like me who opposed it.

I have never trusted that Neocon Bushite since then.
