Devvy Kidd is, of course, correct. Legislators read very little of the substance of these treaties. Legislators merely listen to promises with the word "FREE" connected to them and vote "YES." And American conservatives so-called are now people who believe in economic free-for-all with no moral or patriotic restraint at all, and people like Pat Buchannan become their most-hated.

Just like the patriot act, nobody read it and no discussions in committee or on the floor of congress. NAFTA was 900 pages, I bet they didn't read one page.

What really made me sick were those MFN votes [later called Normal Trade Relations] in the House. All those red ties and red jackets. I really had to wonder how much they were being greased by foreign interests.
