Ford Motor Company is building a plant in Mexico. It will be profitable for them to do so because the NAFTA areement cancels out protective tariffs, and labor costs are less in Mexico. I would be interested in hearing you explain why that is good for our country. The United States has lost hundreds of thousands of jobs due to NAFTA alone. And, you can multiply that one event (Ford) many times over with industries that have been moved out of the United States due to the other free trade agreements. Are you good with the fact that GATT controls a large part of American trade, not Congress?
Why is making cars more expensive to prop up dem union bosses “good for the country”? Let them figure out a way to compete without government help. If they can’t, tough.
I drive a Ford built in a plant about 2 miles away and work in a plant that supplies it. It has 40% Canadian and Mexican content (including a German transmission). God Bless NAFTA, and Ronald Reagan, who brought it to us.
