Hind sight is 20/20 ~ In 1993, Ross Perot said “If you don’t make anything, you cant buy anything”. Gore said “If NAFTA doesn’t work for America we could get out in 6months time”… – Imagine if Ross Perot won. He said that NAFTA would bring down the standard of living for Mexicans… Fast forward 17 years… now the standard of living in America has plummeted far worse, and Mexico is heading strait to hell in a hand-basket.
Watch the debate again…

- Eil Thompkins Yes, NAFTA and Welfare to Work were on the table durring Clinton’s admin. And,there were many concessions made with Republicans during his “lame duck” season (pending impeachment, 2nd term, etc).
Perhaps Clinton’s penance for Lewinsky was a high price to pay for a few years of surplus. The exuberance & deregulation led Americans on a spending frenzy, and we now see who were the benefactors.1Edit or delete this - John Lindsay Green Eileen, what gets me, is that lots of folks are still so mesmerized, blinded and in love with “can’t-do-no-wrong-clinton.” LOL!Delete or hide this
- Eil Thompkins What gets us all, is the fact that we continue to plow forward with the NAFTA plan while US coffers are clearly plundered by the wealthy brokers who race to the bottom to serve the third-world at our expense.Edit or delete this
- Gene Allen Great post and comments. I would also have to point out the Financial Services Modernization Act signed into law by Mr. Clinton in ’99. I can’t understand why people never point out the road he started us out on…….1Delete or hide this
