NAFTA Ten Years later

The effects of NAFTA on Mexico. Hmmm...China sends $14B into Mexico, and $400M goes back to China.
Also, US-subsidized corn and other agricultural products flooded into Mexico, running 1.4 Million workers into 550,000 manufacturing jobs. Hey, where did all the other 850,000 people go, er, come from? Really? Interesting.....It seemed like the right thing to do according to almost everyone, including legendary economist Milton Friedman. "Now, wait just-a minute!" But not to Ross Perot, who we all were in favor of shutting up and shutting out like some sort of billionaire idiot. Hmmm...Would things be different if Perot had been elected? Or, even Gore, hanging chads and all, in 2000? I am afraid to say, I voted for NAFTA, and I voted for Bush. I was wrong. Now what do I do?

You voted for a selected leader.

Leaders are selected by thier parties. They are then asked or allowed to run. At that point to parties decide whom to vote for and whom not to vote for.

Case in example Huckabee. Would be really good for America, but the second he took the lead he was bashed to hell and back by the media and they will continue to do this until he is gone from the seen. A new tid bit will come out every 5-7 days usually on days that are slow in the news.. WHY? because the media (as a whole) has not selected him to win. Maybe you should ask yourself why were these people selected for me to vote for them and you will for youself just how far america has fallen.
