Just WHERE are all of the JOBS that NAFTA was supposed to make materialize in the USA?
Is this a lefty think-tank?
As Pat Buchanan pointed out, NAFTA is not free trade. it’s managed, preferred trade.
If tehy wanted to make a free trade agreement, they should just write a one-pager saying “There shall be no trade barriers among these countries.” Simple.
Anything else is NOT free trade.
Granted, simply anecdotal—but I have a job that’s NAFTA-related. You know, one of those jobs you hear people mention now and then. A manufacturing job. Just outside of Detroit (where the people that whine the most about the loss of manufacturing jobs don’t want to live).
No, it’s libertarian or Austrian.
