Like I said.

And now there are even more jobs left to outsource, since a lot of people had to get two jobs to replace the job that got shipped out.

That's just another reason NAFTA is awesome. People used to have a good paying factory job, but they got to trade it in for two dishwashing jobs!

Thanks, NAFTA! Someday maybe we can all have two jobs.

Yeah, it was great back when my grandparents were living in rowhomes next to the smelly factories. At least they had "good factory jobs" (and voted Democrat).

If an "unskilled factory job" is the ultimate employment goal in your society, than you obviously live in a Third World country.

When did the Right become a voice for the lumpen Proletariat. WORKERS OF THE WORLD UNITE! /s

NAFTA--Myth vs. Facts

Who do you want to believe, the government or the Democrats? Tough Choice.
