What NAFTA and global trade has done to the American economy the past 20 years has been absolutely catastrophic

I agree, and they're trying for more of the same, if not worse with the TPP and other pending agreements.

You said you were young during the NAFTA debate. The public opposed NAFTA by around 65% or more, and its supporters could not get it through the House until several congressmen were bought off with special consideration for business and ag interests in their districts.

Here is a fairly short article from 11/18/1993 about the NAFTA passage and some of what it took to get it passed.

House Approves U.S.-Canada-Mexico Trade Pact on 234 to 200 Vote, Giving Clinton Big Victory

Nothing brings out the Uniparty forces like one of the big globalist trade or immigration deals. I can recall back to the late 1950s and recall no legislation that brought out the full court press like the NAFTA debate.

Say what you will about Ross Perot, but he was absolutely slimed and smeared for opposing NAFTA.

Turns out.........the man was right.
