[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1202931, member: 17969"] In this video, president clinton states at the 2 minute mark, the changes to the agreement that were discussed with labor and labor leaders. These were the only changes he could make to nafta as the bill which was written by the republicans was going to pass with or without cooperation from Clinton. The only person at the time who had it right, was Ross Perot who said this about NAFTA. "During its planning stages, NAFTA was heavily criticized by Reform Party presidential candidate Ross Perot, who argued that if NAFTA was passed, Americans would hear a "giant sucking sound" of American companies fleeing the United States for Mexico, where employees would work for less pay and without benefits. The pact, which took effect on January 1, 1994, created the world's largest free-trade zone." Perot was absolutely correct. Thats exactly what happened. American companies fled the US for mexico in record numbers and left millions of americans on unemployment and food stamps. This is the result of pure capitalism at best. Peace TOS [/QUOTE]
