1. I personally feel that the Clinton administration's lies

about this rivaled the Bush lies about WMD. NAFTA cheerleaders have still to acknowledge the lies. .look at Robert Reich, he writes almost daily about the US economy, he literally blames everything but NAFTA, which he, to this day, defends...I guess why wouldn't he, he sold out labor for his own benefit as secretary of labor against the wishes of over 80% of labor.

The only way NAFTA could have possibly produced the results promised is if the agreement had included a mandate on all participating nations to impose worker and environmental parity with the first world in a time certain. Without such a requirement these results were crystal clear to anyone not blinded by the prospect of vast personal gain from the exploitation of 3rd world labor. 100% of the gains made by Mexico went to their corrupt government leaders, corrupt government leaders in the US, and the multinational corporations who purchased the agreement from the corrupt leaders in both countries. History will likely not be so kind to those leaders, but alas, they will enjoy the fruits of the stolen US economy during their despicable lives. ..three cheers for another Clinton in the White House!1!! 1
