Nuts to NAFTA

We currently are in a world of hurt, for we have offended Canada by announcing the United States will not be importing as much steel as in previous years – up to 40 percent from outside our country.

However, American citizens are still flocking to the borders to purchase cheap pharmaceutical drugs. The fact of the matter is a lot of countries are starting to get mad at the “Buy American” plan, being the counterproposal is claiming we are in violation of the North American Free Trade Agreement Act (NAFTA). Whoopee – it's about time we got our heads out of the sand!

NAFTA is the worst document ever to be dumped on the American worker. It was a good idea for the major corporations which spent millions getting the treaty enacted, but bad for the auto and steel mill workers who continue to lose work every week.

The key conspirators, with lobbyists in their pockets, not to mention fistfuls of dollars and pesos, were Brian Mulroney of Canada, Carlos Salinas de Gortari of Mexico and Bill Clinton of the United States. The year was 1993, which worked out great for Clinton, who undoubtedly used the windfall to help finance his re-election campaign and continues to profit even today from contributors to his nonprofit fund.

Chinese workers are losing their $120 a week jobs because America is not buying as much of the junk they produce. They are being forced back to the farms to work the land.

Capitalism is a hard mistress, and only the strong should embrace it! Democracy in the business world is not for the meek or weak willed.
Time for a trip to the medicine cabinet.
