Are you claiming our net worth has dropped since NAFTA? You have any links showing our debt is growing more than our assets?"

Considering our most valuable national asset, manufacturing, as well as our ballooning trade deficits & national debt, I'd say yes.

You'd say yes, but do you have any proof? Page 110 of 124 shows our net worth has increased over 25% since 2001.

When you say "our net worth" are you talking about the entire US population? Of which increases in net worth of the top 5-10% can be vastly higher than decreases in the net worth of the remaining 90-95%, skewing the data. So you can have 10% of the population gain in net worth, the rest decrease, and still get the same rosy picture.
