The REAL problem with our so-called "trade" agreements is that they are primarily NOT,/b> about trade, they just use that term to confuse everyone.
To (nearly) quote Henry Kissinger: "..(NAFTA) is not about trade but represents the architecture of a New World Order"
You people who still think it is about "trade" are simply making it easy for them to get those agreements rammed through.
I spent well over a year posting on FR about CAFTA before it was passed, and I was not alone in doing so. We said many times what the real dangers were, and all we got was flamed.
As to our sovreignty, how could it not have an affect, given we have already seen the effects of NAFTA and the WTO in dictating to our congress and the President the resolution of trade issues with our "partners".
CAFTA also effectively destroys our borders in the provision that grants "rights" to Central American residents who wish to travel north for jobs.
And of course, CAFTA is the opening salvo in the push for the FTAA, coming to a hemisphere near you real soon.
I believe I said trade agreements are about more than just trade. What I want to know is how it and NAFTA have negatively impacted me? I consider labor unions a far greater threat to my economic stability than any of the trade agreements we have.

And since you have just brought it up, I guess it's significant, though I doubt many would agree. BTW, could you link me to the constitutional provisions and sovereignty provisions of the Act? Thanks.
