NAFTA’s Impact on U.S. Workers

By establishing the principle that U.S. corporations could relocate production elsewhere and sell back into the United States, NAFTA undercut the bargaining power of American workers, which had driven the expansion of the middle class since the end of World War II. The result has been 20 years of stagnant wages and the upward redistribution of income, wealth and political power.

Interestingly, Trump and Clinton share the same views about NAFTA. Former President Bill Clinton admitted he thinks it was a mistake.

Bill also thought that his inaction on Rwanda was also a mistake.
Bill said that his failure to take Bin Laden from Sudan was also a mistake.

Just the tip and SS wants to give him a third term.

What impact has NAFtA had on Providers near the border with Canada? I am thinking of places like Seatle, Detroit and maybe North-Eastern cities.

Does proximity to Cnada drive down doation rates, or is there an availability/scarcvety of service effect.

what does fluctuating exchande rates do? Do hobbyists from Canada make the trip south ? Does a strong Dollar affect the traffic north?

If only Bush would admit he made a mistake by invading Iraq. . .

Transcript: Slick Willie the Perjuring Sexual Predator explains Iraq strike

SLICK WILLIE: Good evening.

Earlier today, I ordered America's armed forces to strike military and security targets in Iraq. They are joined by British forces. Their mission is to attack Iraq's nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors.

Their purpose is to protect the national interest of the United States, and indeed the interests of people throughout the Middle East and around the world.

Saddam Hussein must not be allowed to threaten his neighbors or the world with nuclear arms, poison gas or biological weapons.

I want to explain why I have decided, with the unanimous recommendation of my national security team, to use force in Iraq; why we have acted now; and what we aim to accomplish.

Six weeks ago, Saddam Hussein announced that he would no longer cooperate with the United Nations weapons inspectors called UNSCOM. They are highly professional experts from dozens of countries. Their job is to oversee the elimination of Iraq's capability to retain, create and use weapons of mass destruction, and to verify that Iraq does not attempt to rebuild that capability. (CNN)
Bill Clinton later admitted, several times, that he was wrong about NAFTA. Hillary Clinton also states she is against NAFTA and agrees with Trump (who is also against NAFTA). How many times do I have to say this? Clinton admits he made a mistake!!!

It was all over the news when when former President Bill Clinton admitted he was wrong about NAFTA. Guess you believe what you want to believe. So be it. Yes, President Clinton may have cheated with Monica L. Big deal. That has nothing to do with his job as President. And he did a much better job than Bush. That's my personal opinion.

"It is true that the Glass-Steagall law is no longer appropriate to the economy in which we lived. It worked pretty well for the industrial economy, which was highly organized, much more centralized and much more nationalized than the one in which we operate today. But the world is very different." Slick Willie the Perjuring Sexual Predator, 11/12/1999 (Department of Treasury)

The Bush administration did nothing more than finance the industrial war complex and its constituents. He also gave tax credits to the super rich and on capital gains which increased the deficit even more. He borrowed from the social security trust fund to finance the wars and the tax credits. Much of the debt that Obama inherited was Bush's fault. Cannot blame it all on Obama.

Read this article carefully and then double check your facts. Click on the links in the article. See how the deficit has actually gone down since Obama took office. He also is the smallest government spender since Eisenhower and that is a fact!
