We've got an argument that has weight the economy. For the majority of the time since NAFTA was passed the US economy has been chugging along at meterioric rates, unemployment has dropped lower than ever

Sounds good, but in reality, thousands went from good full time positions with benefits, to low end jobs at Walmart and other low end service jobs....Trust me, this is not a good thing.

Sorry that's not the case. In reality the manufacturing sector is a higher percentage of our GDP than it was just prior to WWII, good jobs are thriving throughout the country. Reality is the economy is fine and free trade has at worst been economically neutral. There's a perceptage some are selling that the jobs of America has trended downward, but you shouldn't buy it because the sellers are drunk and hooked on crack.
