Well I cant point out that the NAFTA plan was set up to create a north american union but so much BS was added in the fine print that it now looks like expansionism at its finest... Throw in NORCOM and you see Mexico and Canada being made into one huge nation state where we just shut off the rest of the world...

My belief is that it has everything to do with corporate profit and exploitation. Who benefits most from free trade? Is it the workers? Is it the country? Or is it the corporations and their stockholders bottomline? The concentration of wealth has been taken from the middle class in given to the pockets of the elite, for one reason and one reason only, greed.

That would imply that the government is controlled by corporate boards and not politicians of the people. Who did Obama just name his Corporate Competitiveness Czar - the guy that oversaw jobs at GE fleeing the United States for Mexico and overseas.
I know you are right but you aren't helping me feel better.
