The reason lies and bribes seem to be what paved the way for CAFTA is because the majority of Americans are not nationalists that understand America will be made or broken by foreign investment into our corporate companies. We must allow inefficeint markets such as farming to fade itself out instead of allowing the government to subsidize money losing industries.

Oh, yes. Always a good idea to allow other countries to supply us with frivolous items like FOOD. Good grief, have any of you people ever read a history book??

Or (and more likely) why doesn't the U.S.A. as an entity matter to you?

Farming is not inefficient in this country. It is a vastly over regulated enterprise.

Your understanding of the American system of government seems lacking.... It is not up to the government to force people out of business. The purpose of the government is to leave people alone to do what they want to for a living. By over regulation, they are placing a burden on the agricultural industry that other industries do not have to bear. The government is also using agriculture as a bargaining chip with Africa and Asian third world countries for trade. It is not the place of the federal government to negotiate away citizens rights at the global trade table.

Your opinions seem to be shaped by the idea that a global command economy is best for America, and I take exception to that. The globalist say that a country should produce only 25% of what it needs to function, it should import everything else. There is no freedom when an government has that much control over the lives of its citizens and the work they want to do.

America is much greater than your opinion of Her. America and America's freedoms have been the pinnacle of human evolution. The globalist "free traders" are out to destroy those freedoms by decimating the country through open borders, wage deflation, outsourcing, offshoring and "sustainable development". "Free traders" prefer slaves to free people.
