That I agree with. When NAFTA was introduced back in the 90's, so many people thought that it was such a fantastic plan. I hated it from the moment that I read about it. ANd look what it has done to our job situation in this country.
It was a fantastic plan. I'm not really sure what you mean when you mention the job situation in the country, since the unemployment rate is more than 1% lower than it was in 1993 (the year NAFTA was enacted). NAFTA also greatly increased trade profits between ourselves and the other participants, with value rising from $81 billion in 1993 to $232 billion. [/quote]But how many jobs were outsourced because of that Nafta agreement. how many US companies werthen able to hire people form other countries and take jobs away from American citizens because of that Nafta agreement?
Ever call DELL, who's based in Texas? You are connected to India, where jobs were outsources. Yes, the trade profits did increase for us, but that doesn't help the average working man or woman who has lost their job due to NAFTA and the outsourcing of American jobs. The agreement eventually trickled down to the working man and woman and cost many their jobs.
