Just heard an interesting analysis of CAFTA by a former trade official/lawyer now with Public Citizen. She said it's a thousand pages of laws, of which forty pages deal with the substance of trade between the US and Central America, the rest is all international gobbledygook, including the fact that domestically produced goods/deals will have to abide by international laws, and goodbye sovereignty. If you liked NAFTA, you'll love CAFTA. We saw a modest trade surplus plunge into hideous deficits, thanks to NAFTA, and Mexican farmers were ruined by the influx of US vegetables, etc.. It made the illegal alien problem far worse, displacing so many Mexican peasants who were unable to make a living thanks to NAFTA, and they all headed North. Now we'll do it to Central America.
