Even Milton Friedman called NAFTA “managed trade.”

Here is what Milton Friedman said about NAFTA:

NAFTA is not the discussion though, free trade is. NAFTA is a poor attempt; Friedman didn't like NAFTA because it didn't go far enough in reducing tariffs! Apparently you want to increase tariffs which is exactly the OPPOSITE of what Friedman's desire was.

Here is what Milton Friedman said about NAFTA:
...The main beneficiary for NAFTA will be Mexico and the people in Mexico, not the people in the United States.

... NAFTA is misnamed, it's not a Free Trade Agreement, it's a Managed Trade Agreement.

It's amazing what a change in emphasis tells ya.

We are getting to the point where, if you quote the document that they themselves are using back to them, you get the blank stare. I honestly can't see how much farther this can go . . . .
