I do not say that their economy is better because of NAFTA. Their leaders sold them that it would improve their economy. They have have been hurt by NAFTA too. Also, I did not say that NAFTA would ruin our economy. Our economy is much to large to be hurt by an 87 billion trade deficit. However, it hurt a lot of good Americans.
And which industries have they destabilized?
I've already documented the damage to the farm industry. It has destroyed the clothing manufacturing industry and to other industries where the corporations can close American operations to open a plant just over the border.
So, NAFTA hurt us because all our jobs went to Mexico? Mexico was hurt because all their jobs came here? It's a lose-lose situation? Thanks for straightening that out.
I've already documented the damage to the farm industry.
Did we produce more farm products in 2004 than in 1994? Did we just export a record amount of ag products last year?
