Free trade is a good concept. I only make 2 demands.
1) That everyone play by the rules.
2) That agreements dont undermine American soverignty.
It seems that Clinton and Bush have been playing fast and loose with both, our soverignty, and the rules. In setting agreements, the soverignty of the United States has been undermined, as obeying the rules of the trade agreements that have been negotiated has become more important than US laws, rules and regulations. In addition, it seems that the Bushneviks in power had no intention to play by their own rules either. A case in point is the breaking of our agreement with Canda over importing timber, due to our eagerness to do the bidding of corporations, and circumvent the very laws we are a party to passing.
Other nations now see the US as insincere, and willing to break laws. I see what is happening today as the first steps in the deaths of our agreements. To be honest, that is fine by me. I have been against these agreements from the start.
Death to NAFTA.
Death to CAFTA.
Death to GATT.
