Sounds good to me. Then what will be your reason to whine about cheap goods?

If we could have the good paying manufacturing jobs back, you can price the goods as cheaply as you want and I won't complain.

So is that a yes to $200 oil?

No, we can pay for the research with the reinstated tariffs.

If ignorance were wings, you could fly.

If intelligence was a tariff, you'd be NAFTA.

[mysterio]

Did it increase trade?

Sure did. We traded good paying manufacturing jobs for an invasion of workers fleeing the NAFTA utopia.

[KevinDavis]

Our government has been dysfunctional way before NAFTA....

If you plan to avoid answering a question, just ignore it instead of avoiding it so obviously. One would think that you'd have learned that from your protectionist colleagues by now.

[mysterio]

We were talking about Mexico's government in that particular example.

[1rudeboy]

Mexico's government is going to pay for our energy research? Why should they, they sell us oodles of oil. Adding to our trade deficit.

If you plan to avoid answering a question, just ignore it instead of avoiding it so obviously. One would think that you'd have learned that from your protectionist colleagues by now.

I'll address your point as soon as I can find someone in another country to answer it more cheaply than I could.

[KevinDavis]

Whatever, I see this road is a good thing, if it means cheaper goods for me..

[mysterio]

I was being facetious. However,I would support a "ten years to the moon" type program to address energy independence. that seems to be a real missing plank in the war on terror when you take into account that oil is fungible and much of the money from its sale goes to fund terror.

[mysterio]

cheaper goods for me

Certainly, if you subtract the costs of the illegal immigrant influx and tax funds going to displaced workers.

[KevinDavis]

Well we should not give any money to displaced workers and illegal aliens....

[ridesthemiles]

There was NO PUBLIC INPUT for the NAIS ID system for every critter in the entire USA being implemented by the USDA, either.

[KevinDavis]

Jerome, if you are reading this, beware of the Stonecutters....

[1rudeboy]

I'll address your point as soon as I can find someone in another country to answer it more cheaply than I could.

No, you meant to say that you'll answer it as soon as you get Uncle Sugar (and by extension, nearly everyone else on this forum) to help you.

If we could have the good paying manufacturing jobs back

What about the good paying farms jobs that were lost over the last 100 years?

No, we can pay for the research with the reinstated tariffs.

What reinstated tariffs?

[Toddsterpatriot]

We traded good paying manufacturing jobs

Manufacturing jobs increased after NAFTA.

for an invasion of workers fleeing the NAFTA utopia.

You still don't know what happened in Mexico at that time, do you? Poor ignorant little man.

[1rudeboy]

Whenever I see someone complaining about "no public input" to this, or that, I'm usually seeing someone who snoozed through the public comment period, found out about too late to do anything about it, and is miffed that the Federal Government can't simply turn on a dime to accomodate them.

[mysterio]

What about the good paying farms jobs that were lost over the last 100 years?

No need. They can get good manufacturing jobs as soon as we revoke NAFTA.

[1rudeboy]

What about the export-manufacturing jobs? Where do they go? Back to the farm?

[mysterio]

Manufacturing jobs increased after NAFTA.

I said good paying manufacturing jobs.
