When NAFTA was passed, many people feared the worst and the results have indeed been disastrous.

On the basis of the one-sided disastrous results over the past 15 years, whoever advocated NAFTA seems to be either grossly negligent of their duty of representing their constituents or is simply working contrary to the best interest of this country.

Canada too, was hurt greatly by this trade deal. In my opinion our Prime Minister at the time, Brian Mulroney, was a traitor to Canada. The outcome that was forecast by so many at the time has in fact occurred.

Manufacturing has been shifted to Mexico from not only the U.S. but Canada as well. meanwhile the corporate profits have increased with the lower labour and environmental costs.

The time is slowly coming when there will be nobody able to afford the products manufactured in Mexico or China or Vietnam or India or Bangladesh.

I recollect a rather well-informed fellow named Ross Perot publicly declaring what the effects of the corporate and elite-class friendly free-trade scam/scheme would be and he was correct.

"There's class warfare, all right, Mr. (Warren) Buffett said, but it's my class, the rich class, that's making war, and we're winning"

There has been class warfare going on," Buffett, 81, said in a Sept. 30 interview with Charlie Rose on PBS. It's just that my class is winning. And my class isn't just winning, I mean we're killing them."

"My friends and I have been coddled long enough by a billionaire-friendly Congress." - Billionaire Warren Buffett, in a New York Times op-ed on Aug. 15.

And Warren Buffet is also correct.

But, the USA propaganda systems have functioned oh-so well; ensuring the masses of USA citizen-sheep continue bleating that as "things" are is correct and proper.

Love it or leave it.

OBEY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scary how smart this man really was. And he was right, nearly to the point of clairvoyance.
