You're shorting NAFTA with the completely erroneous and misleading argument that two WHOLE years there was a trade surplus and my post points out how absolutely disingenuous your statement is by citing facts.Quote:

So your argument is NAFTA had no positive impact then? Or it made no difference? What part of it didn't pan out am I missing?Quote:

And the neoliberals wonder how it's possible that they lost to Trump.
The doubling down on destroying the middle class is amazing to watch.
A random quote, that's what you come back with? You really are a waste of time.
You obviously haven't read a single thing posted showing the massive increase in trade or business benefits of NAFTA. If you're unwilling to educate yourself, then I won't either. Good luck child.
No, you're right. How would we have ever survived with the tariffs on chiclets and turquoise.Quote:

Most of this is moot, as it is not me that gets to go campaign in the rust belt and explain to the UAW that NAFTA was good for them.
Chiclets and turquoise, how plainly racist. How about cars and parts, household electronics and appliances? All of which is assembled more economically in Mexico to the benefit of US Consumers.Quote:
