Yeah, it was. It was a deal designed to screw Americans.
Yeah, it was. It was a deal designed to screw working Americans, enrich the GOPe and their pundits who write lies like this National Review bs article.
NAFTA was not a bad deal - it was really, really a TERRIBLE deal. One-sided, nothing extracted in exchange for the artificial lowering of barriers on our part, and NOTHING, especially from Mexico, on the freedom of crossing the international borders.
In some ways, the deal with Canada was not nearly as bad, as the Canadians sort of recognize the rule of law, and we speak a more or less common language, but still, Quebec came along in the deal with Canada, and they are among the most xenophobic people in the world, not good neighbors at all.
