I sure used to know a lot of people with good jobs before NAFTA was signed in to law. Sure seems a lot of these people are still unemployed or barely making ends meet after being forced into low paying jobs. Most of these people will tell you that the market was flooded with low cost products, some from countries with government subsidized industries. I believe risking our jobs to make the WTO happy would be bad policy. In trying to strong arm the U.S. it seems that a lot of these other countries will certainly harm their own econimic health? I could be wrong but thats the way I see it.
