NAFTA stinks, for a whole host of reasons, but our hero, Bill Clinton, signed a law that created the volatility and speculation that is, as usual, making a few people very rich while impoverishing millions (if not billions) of people.

It was this turd of a law that did it: The Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000.

That thing should be repealed in its entirety.
