CAFTA may have been a 'victory' for the White House, but it was a loss for America.

The SELL OUT continues by Jorge.

I, for one, agree. The U.S. has been shafted again, and most don't seem to care.

So where are the breadlines and 20% unemployment that you guys told me would happen under NAFTA?

I feel like a broken record today.

That's my take. This could well cost the Republican Party its leadership position. All because George was feeling down and needed a win.

I know. It's terrible.

Bring back Smoot-Hawley. That will save us.

Oh, and post 100,000 machine gun nests on the border with Mexico.

Yeah, doing nothing while China gobbles up South and Central America is a sell out. Maybe you should investigate real world global politics. Bury your head in the sand behind the border instead of dealing with the threat of Chinese imperialism.

CAFTA Will work as long as companies that are making things in China get incentives to move production to Central America.

Its hard to call it a victory. It only passed by two votes after a significant amount of politicking after the vote was over,even though the republicans have a majorty in the house.

Also, if it were called a treaty, which it truly is, it would have had to meet the 2/3 majority, and would have never passed.

Lets make congress constitutional again. Get out of the WTO, and get rid of the USTR trade negotiating power granted to it by the unconstitutional WTO global trading system.

While his centerpiece proposal to restructure Social Security continues to languish,

What proposal? His "proposal" is "I'm ready to discuss all ideas but I really think personal accounts are a good idea". That's about it.

The reason it "languishes" in Congress is because they, on both sides, are cowards.
