NAFTA superhighway backers need more of your tax money

The real crime is that the factories are encouraged to move to China, being subsidized by U.S. taxpayers through loans, credits and guarantees from the U.S. government, your tax money being given to the World Bank, International Monetary Fund and the Overseas Private Investment Corporation for this purpose.

TAA is our commitment that America will provide wage and health benefits while trade-displaced workers retool, retrain, and find better jobs. And a renewed TAA must do what today's program does not. TAA must be available to the eight out of 10 American workers who make their money in services professions; and it must apply to all workers displaced by trade, not just those affected by free-trade agreements. In fact, we should seriously examine the idea of expanding TAA into "GAA" -- Globalization Adjustment Assistance that would offer benefits not only to workers displaced by trade, but to those displaced by all aspects of globalization.

Another PING

In the process, they want to hasten formation of the North American Union (NAU) through construction of the necessary transportation infrastructure of new ports and the connecting NAFTA superhighway through Mexico, the U.S. and Canada.

The NAU is a proposed merger of Canada, Mexico and the U.S. into a European Union-style superstate.

Read and weep, for those that thought the NAU was just someone's imagination. Thanks to GWB and his globalist buddies for this destruction of America's soverignty.

My head is too big for a hat, so if the NAU and this Superhighway actually come to pass, I will eat somebody else's hat.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Pinging the Emperor and Foreman.

I was getting ready to respond, then realized that this is a letter to the editor.

[AmishDude]

So now the NAUers are against highways. Unbelievable.

Thanks to GWB and his globalist buddies for this destruction of America's soverignty.

I would say thanks to the DNC and RNC, who are beholden to the corporations and our elected officials who are beholden to them.

they need your tax money

Of course. Free Market Fundamentalism cannot function without corporate welfare and without using sacrifices of general public (like of soldiers risking their lives in defense of their nation and not of the global market)

Do you think that the man who wrote this letter to the editor got his info at FR?

This is one big grift by the elite to drain every last bit of capital out of the US before jumping to the next patsy. All the middle class will be left with is a mountain of debt and a dazed look on their faces.

[Lijahsbubbe]

Our largest exports to China are empty cargo containers and American jobs. Containers are sent back to us with slave labor produced goods that undercut American businesses.

And this is why our politicians are willing to allow illegals to infiltrate our country and assist in the lowering of US wages.

Like the frog in the boiling water, they're trying to acclimate us slowly to our new substandard wages and living.

All the middle class will be left with is a mountain of debt and a dazed look on their faces.

And the Kremlin/congress will be sitting fat and happy with their raises and pensions

No more roads in America!! We're done building new roads! Anyone who thinks otherwise is a globalist who is conspiring to relinquish our sovereignty! The New World Order is out to get us! EEAAAAAAAAH!

MORETHORAZINEPLEASE also works for those really-hard-to-find threads

"they're trying to acclimate us slowly to our new substandard wages and living."


It happened rather suddenly at our house. My Wife had a great job with great benefits. Suddenly, after a massive layoff. she's got a contract job (one year at a time), less money and We pay for our own benefits. Guess what? My job is in a service industry.

No more roads in America!!

Gray Davis, is that you?

[Kimberly GG]

hey hedge...can you add me to this ping list please?

[DreamsofPolycarp]

Quite possibly the stupidest screed I have seen in a while.

[You Dirty Rats]

Read and weep, for those that thought the NAU was just someone's imagination.

I'm weeping with laughter at this nonsense. This is a completely phony issue just like the return of the Draft. A comment from a columnist is not proof that the President or any other sane politician in this country actually supports the NAU.

Until one of the NAU conspiracy tinfoilers can post a speech or document from the President himself or a member of his cabinet that shows he is supporting eliminating this country and replacing it with the NAU, I'll treat this as just another pathetic attack on the President that has no basis in fact.
