Reply #42: Have you even done any research on what you think? [View All]

Or do you just open your mouth and insert your foot reflexively?

You seem to forget that the US is the number consumer nation in the world. With clout like that to use, we could advocate for higher wages for workers worldwide, rather than forcing US workers to take a pay cut(without the commiserate lowering of the prices of goods and services). Or have you overlooked the power of the tariff?

You also seem to forget that NAFTA is devistating other countries besides ours. Like Mexico, whose traditional agrarian culture has been undercut by the US agrarian behemoth. Thus there is a huge rural unemployment problem down there, with millions of rural folk coming into urban areas that aren't ready or suitable for such a large influx of people. The infrastructure is breaking down, and people are living in squalor and disease. Oh, and that is also a big reason why we are having such a large influx of illegal aliens, because this scene I describe in Mexico is being repeated throughout Central and South America.

Do you also realize that NAFTA negates American sovereignty? Go check out Chapter 11 of the NAFTA, I think you will be in for a big suprise what we're really going to be paying for.

I'm sure you also don't realize what damage that NAFTA does to the enviroment. Well, if you're ever down south along the Tex-Mex border, you can see for your own eyes. If not, well, go read Mother Jones' article on how NAFTA has destroyed the border enviroment(among others). The article came out just a few months ago, so you should still be able to find it.

And I find it offensive that you think that certain candidates are bogging the process down. You know what bub, if we had used you logic back in '91, Clinton would and should have dropped out early. Look, these candidates are adding to the discussion, pressing home key points, and you never know, a dark horse could emerge. I think that it is very undemocratic of you to be wishing for certain candidates to be dropping out of the race before the primaries have even begun.

So why don't you go do some research before you open your mouth again. Those size tens must be a killer getting constantly crammed into your piehole.

Another thing you don't seem to realize is that the Toyota that the "hung over slob"(nice characterization of the working man there, Woody Guthrie you're not) is made in the US. In fact, given the way that all automobile companies have gone multinational, it is probably more in line with "Buy USA Made" spirit to purchase a Toyota than of Ford these days. But a guess little details like that don't mean a damn to you now, do they?
