Bush Signs NAFTA | Video - ABC News[/URL] I wouldnt expect you to understand history, as you continue to be spoon fed a healthy diet of misinformation on a daily basis. If you watched the video, peter jennings states that Clinton supported the agreement but wanted BETTER PROTECTIONS FOR AMERICAN WORKERS... NAFTA, a creation by the republicans during the Reagan presidency, was unable to pass because the democrats held both houses under Reagan and under Bush sr, however, with the GOP taking both houses prior to Clinton taking office, BUSH sr simply signed the NAFTA agreement before it passed congress. A slick move by the most devasting political party to hurt the american workers. Since its passage, thousands of good paying jobs fled to mexico to take advantage of slave labor rates and unemploying hard working americans putting them onto the payroll of the us government through welfare, food stamps, unemployment and disability. You complain now, but YOU played a part in bringing this country to its knees. Congrats Island, you have it all figured out. Maybe someday, you'll realize the crap you hear on FOX news isnt news at all, or that Limbaugh is simply polluting your brain. TOS. [/QUOTE]
