Any minute now, lrudeboy and ToddsterPatriot will be here to lecture you about how we're exporting more than we import...

Never mind them. They have failed entirely at this debate. Personal attacks never succeed vs reasoned factual debate in changing opinions.

Still claiming exports didn't increase after NAFTA? Calling you ignorant of that fact was the truth, not a personal attack. As far as factual debate, how can I debate someone so ignorant of the facts?

Last Dakotan's idea of factual debate.

CAFTA won't fly because NAFTA has been such a failure. All the premises, such as a gains in goods exports, NAFTA was sold to the American people on have failed to materialize.
Additionally our Federal government has proved to be inept at policing such trade agreements. I initially was a big supporter of free trade, but when a theory fails in practice I know when to quit believing in it.

You're right, exports to Mexico going from $50.8 billion in 1994 to $110.7 billion in 2004 isn't really an increase. Were you in the same math class as SwankyC?
