Granted all this "free trade" stuff started under Bush 41 -- no conservative IMHO -- but it went on steroids under Clinton. Ross Perot was right and voters back then knew he was right... I'm not certain 20 years later we have an educated enough electorate to figure anything out for themselves.
Read the thread, and weep.
Yep. Bill and algore made sure that the NAFTA agreement started under Bush 41 was the "greenest trade agreement ever written..."
I’m a lot less concerned about the industrial unions than I am the service workers unions, govt employees unions and teachers union.
The industrial workers aren’t as wildly liberal as some would like to believe. I was never liberal when I was a union member and it looked to me like my coworkers really reflected the general population ideologically.
The service workers, govt employees, and teacher’s unions are the ideologues and they seem very much involved with groups like ACORN and they’re far more powerfull than all the industrial unions put together.
