"Exactly. NAFTA was a badly negotiated deal that was sold as a job creator for our country."

NAFTA started in 1994:

BLS 1993 Average Unemployment rate 6.9% (Before NAFTA)

BLS 2004 Average Unemployment rate 5.5% (after NAFTA)

Today we are at 5% as of last months figures. Seems that there are MORE jobs after NAFTA... Would you not agree?

A question...hasn't the working population of the US also increased significantly in ten years? Wouldn't that mean that job creation has outpaced natural population increases?
