313....you won't even acknowledge that you blamed NAFTA on a Republican house of representatives when the house was 253 dem and 150 republican (with documentation).
It just doesn't seem to me that people here should bother giving you any proof or consideration after you make statements like that and then ignore people when they point out the reality of the situation.
Don't get me wrong, it was definitely bi-partisan with generally more republican than democratic support....there is just a lot of amnesia 18 years later about who voted for it and so on and so forth.
I was personally shocked by the big name Senate Democrats that voted pro-NAFTA (Nunn, Daschle, Kerry, Lieberman, Kennedy, Biden....). Big names that were anti-NAFTA were Reid and Hillary, Rockefeller, Wellstone etc.
So basically....the house, senate and presidency were all democratic controlled when NAFTA was passed.
Curse you George Bush!!!!! It's all your fault. I'd now like to ask all the union members present to contribute as I pass the hat around so that we can keep those Republicans from hurting American jobs!
Grrrrrrrr. I have several uncles that lost their union jobs to NAFTA, my dad held on long enough to get early retirement.
I actually agree there should be limits on the amount of time someone receives welfare. But this quick cut off date considering the state of the economy especially in Detroit, is concerning.
When Christie Todd Whitman was Governor of NJ, she actually had a plan to deal with the Welfare recipients and that is to require them to work part-time in order to obtain a check. But somewhere between Codey and McGreevey, those rules were laxed.

Maybe all those who want the Gov to take care of them will go to MA They give the welfare recipients cars and cell phones.
Free cars for poor fuel road rage
Gov. Deval Patrick’s free wheels for welfare recipients program is revving up despite the stalled economy, as the keys to donated cars loaded with state-funded insurance, repairs and even AAA membership are handed out to get them to work.
But the program - fueled by a funding boost despite the state’s fiscal crash - allows those who end up back on welfare to keep the cars anyway.
“It’s mind-boggling. You’ve got people out there saying, ‘I just lost my job. Hey, can I get a free car, too?’ ” said House Minority Leader Brad Jones (R-North Reading). Free cars for poor fuel road rage - BostonHerald.com

So are you saying most of the Hispanics in school are illegals?
Please point out where in my post I stated that. Sheesh. The reverse, however, is true. Most illegals are hispanic. Take that for what it's worth, k?
