In before the “let the trade war begin” geniuses.
...”countries must allow free transportation and circulation of goods across North American borders.”
Gee, I would think we EASILY allow a ‘circulation of goods’ across our borders from Mexico.
We’ve got bigger issues with mexico than their tantrums.
How can they place tariffs on our goods? We don’t sell them anything. They don’t have any money to buy our stuff. If it weren’t for NAFTA, the housing crash never would have happened. Let the trade war begin. We need to stop our free trade with China. We don’t manufacture anything in America anymore. If only the WTO was elected, they wouldn’t vote against us 100% of the time.
How many car manufacturers are now south of the border? I say have obama pull them out now. He does own them, doesn’t he?
Is this true? It couldn't apply to things like medicines, but what about other consumer products? Hmmm.
Barney Frank and Chris Dodd wrote NAFTA? /s
Fine I will pay more for tomatoes and other fruit ...to protect our roads from Mexican truckers
AMEN !!!!
As an aside, I've been doing my part to cut the U.S. trade deficit with Canada. Foster's is now brewed in Georgia and Texas instead of being brewed by Carling Breweries.
Your desire to see more money lifted out of my pocketbook (not to mention your disregard for U.S. agricultural producers) is most noble. Some might even call it “conservative.”
If it werent for NAFTA, the housing crash never would have happened.
How so?
Sorry, just repeating a stupid claim I heard on FR, in order to mock it.
Can we retaliate by slapping a hefty tariff on Mexican exports like illegal alines?
Come on man,
how am I gonna get my much needed marijuana without the mexican trucks able to come freely across the border?
You think that would stop them from coming over? If you do, you think like some of our FR protectionists.
No worries. The trucks simply will continue to come over and get offloaded onto Teamster trucks. Think of all the high-paying jobs you’ll be supporting, and the campaign contributions (to the Democrats).
Joke, rudeboy its a joke.
But you b right in that the doper loby is firmly behind the dems.
“offloaded onto Teamster trucks”?
I can’t believe something like that would happen now though.
And I wear size 14 shoe and am tall dark and handsome too. Yeah right.
