Nope..NAFTA didn't make those white collar jobs go to India/China/Brazil and other emerging nations.

It's kind of like the "Buy American" bumper sticker on the back of a Toyota.

No, he didn't fail. It was a republican idea and republican bill, but clinton did endorse it before he was ever elected right along with his opponent. When the 2 party system offered me a choice between nafta or nafta, there's something seriously wrong. I campaigned for and voted for Perot on principles that had nothing to do with putting hate on clinton.

When the 2 party system offers a choice of globalization all hail transnational corps or globalization all hail transnational corps, that's ANOTHER non choice. And when too many non choices/ lesser of evils accumulate... here we are. It's practically against the law to change foreign policy to something that protects our fiscal interests for a refreshing change of sanity rather than import illegal immigrant poverty and export wealth with dramatic and pernicious trade deficits to China over decades.

Seems to me we've got an awful lot of lobbyists doing nearly all the thinking for politicians these days. Don't you think?

Then there's the superpacs that could very well be sponsored by Muslim Extremists, for all we know. Followed by the zombie pacs (leftover cash) covering the note on someones yacht or being donated to a pac of it's exact opposite-- say RTL leftover cash donated to planned parenthood, or vice versa.

There's a million reasons why I'm right. Doesn't matter who is more to blame than the other. It does matter this gets put in it's place once and for all.

There's a toyota factory right here in WV, so believe it or not, it's not untruthful. Does it beat a ford made in mexico? Oh what a tangled web it is when parts came from china and raw materials timbuktu.

You know, I'd really really appreciate a can opener that *%$^&$& works. Not electric. Manual. I've gone through 6 of them in 2 yrs. Can't find a single one made in america built to last. American quality and pride is against the law too. Not 'cost effective'. This is the kind I'm looking for...

The modern can opener, with a cutting wheel that rolls around the rim, was invented by William Lyman of the United States in 1870.

The kind WE invented, and WE perfected, and WE now pay chinese to make but they can't make one that doesn't fall apart in my hands or even comes remotely close to the can opener I owned for 25yrs without regret.

These lame can openers are going for $2-$8 in stores and it's the only crap on the shelf. I hate them. HATE. The choice of communist china or communist china. I'll pay $20 for a single ergonomic, American made manual can opener with a lifetime warranty that will likely outlive me. It's not rocket science. Build it like you mean it. You don't love me anymore.

Yes, I know I sound like a cranky wife with an inattentive husband. I truly do feel like one.

AND I'm not alone...
Where can I buy a made-in-America hand can opener?
Suppose we could stroll down memory lane...
Vintage Swing-A-Way Red Hand Held Can Opener on eBay!
But I'd rather you get back to work minding our own fields where you belong.

I predict there will be a major growth in the funeral industry with increasing demand for undertakers, crematorium operators and grave diggers.

No matter how good the health care everyone dies. There is going to be a lot of that going around in the next 50 years.
