Another year, another free trade agreement.

This nation has had NAFTA, GATT, and membership in the World Trade Organization. The results do not give supporters of free trade cause to congratulate themselves.

So it's only logical to be suspicious of this one.

"The results ..."

The results have been just described by the Fed as a Goldilocks economy, low inflation, low unemployment, 3-4% annual productivity gains that should last for a while.

The only people I know who hate this have Bush Derangement Syndrome, which you surely don't.

That's right! Before NAFTA, we exported $41.6 billion to Mexico in 1993. After NAFTA, we exported $120.3 billion to Mexico in 2005.

No reason for free traders to congratulate themselves.
