You're right, tularetom.

People, don't just look at Clinton's words. Look at his actions.

NAFTA destroyed the unions. And by extension, NAFTA destroyed the middle class. Bill Clinton was a huge proponent of NAFTA. He wasn't NAFTA's originator. But he readily signed it into law.

I'll say it again. NAFTA destroyed the unions. NAFTA destroyed the middle class.
