"....But how many jobs has NAFTA cost the US? It seems to me that the jobs did not go to Mexico which is what was feared. The jobs went to China......"

Copy that. I worked 19 years for a major manufacturer of fire alarm signals and voice evac systems. Lost my job exactly one year ago.

In the three years leading up to my termination, my company shifted a huge portion of our manufacturing to China and Mexico. The reason was simple: 1/3 of the labor costs as compared to the high union wages and benefits here in the US.

Unions have forced US manufacturers right out of the market-and the One World Globalists (read: Communists) succeeded by tearing down the barriers (NAFTA, etc) thus allowing wealth re-distribution on a worldwide scale.

Ok...true to a point.

But, let me get this straight:

If our unions would negotiate for the same dollar-a-day wage & benefit packages that China forces on its slave-laborers, we’d be able to keep our jobs here in the US ?
