Good find. Rush and the mind-numbed robots in the audience are laughing about jobs going to Mexico.
How many people who are anti-NAFTA now, were pro-NAFTA. I seem to remember most conservatives were pro-NAFTA back then.
To some degree free trade is great idea. Trade goes both ways. But, your average mexican doesn’t have the resources to purchase US made products. Then add the taxes and duties on them, and they are completely out of reach.
Free trade needs to go where there is a reciprocal agreement, where the US has access to their markets, on the same level as they have access to ours.
The shipping of us factories to Mexico produce products to be returned to the US market with no tax for the value add, undercuts US workers. Why would I want the headache of US labor law, when I can go to Mexico and purchase virtual slaves.
I remember this well. Stopping listening to the fraud right then when he revealed who he was working for.
Geez. I was three years old back then.
I gave up on Rush after he went full-throated on Rubio after 25 years of listening.
Hope he enjoys his retirement.
The shop jobs in Michigan, those jobs making car parts/ small electronics, nearly all but a few vanished overnight.
Rush making fun of that clown, Perot. What fun.
“Big joke Rush, about companies moving to Mexico because of NAFTA.”
You mean like the companies Trump moved to Mexico?
Rush is playing sound bites from Cruz’s speech last night where Ted goes over Trump’s 13 lies. Rush is going
berzerk. Levin may commit radiocide tonight.
Rush was and is a YUGE NAFTA cheerleader....that is why he despised Perot...
I remember this. All true. Al Gore even name dropped him when pushing it.
There was a time in the not so recent past that Rush’s position was what was good for corporate America was good for main street America. That has changed over the recent years as Rush’s listening base has become more populist and corporate America is not held in as high esteem among Main Street conservatives.
It was amazing to go back and watch how right Perot was about this. We should have listened to a businessman back then and we should listen to a businessman now. NAFTA completely destroyed our manufacturing base. Our country is pretty much barely coasting now based on our past momentum. Trump wants to start the engine again.
Wow has he done a 180 on this
