NAFTA

It looks like Clinton and Obama are talking trade agreements. . . NAFTA is one of the big ones Obama is hitting Clinton with I hear.

I can sum up NAFTA really easy – screw the working American.

I say this from first hand knowledge. I use to go out to a customer in Warren Ohio that make wire for cars. They had numerous plants there and it looked like the whole town worked for them, hell, they were the town.

A few short years after NAFTA – translates to as soon as they could move all that stuff – most of it was gone. They picked up everything but engineering and moved it all to just over the border in Mexico. The Americans in management live in Texas and drive over the border each day to make wire in Mexico with the cheap labor. In the mean time Warren OH took the hit so Mexicans can work, they town lost thousands of blue collar jobs thanks to NAFTA.

You will never convince me that NAFTA was good for anyone but a few rich folks that owned the companies. What it cost the US was huge. Bill Clinton signed it and sealed the fate of lots and lots of American workers. . . but that is ok, he got his money out of the deal from someone I am sure. And they say the Republicans screw the working class?? I don’t see how, Bill is the one that signed it. . . He who claims to support the working man – Ya Right. . . .

When will we learn that off shoring work does not make us stronger. . . .
