Bull, Clinton signed it cause he is a globalist pig too, but NAFTA was a GOP thing. Most Rats opposed NAFTA, it passed becuase the GOP controled house used a lame duck session (no accountability) to past it and most democrats voted against it and most republicans voted for it.

Clinton sucked, but yall really need to stop blaming him for everything. The lack of accountability makes it very hard to reward good deeds and punish bad deeds. We can not give the GOP a pass everytime it screws up, nor should we always blame the democrats for GOP mistakes.

Xlinton was the one that got it passed, through a Democrat-controlled Congress in 1993. Blaming Republicans for helping it pass is partly fair, but overblown. This really was an Socialist-Co-Opted piece of legislation masquerading as something it was not.

It was never about the U.S. economy. It was about ending the Cold-War trade barriers which defended America's industrial sinecure. Xlinton was the one who implemented a number of concessions to Mexico facilitating the relocation of U.S. capital, and undermined U.S. regulatory positions.
