this is old news. Ross Perot's nightmare went into full effect the second NAFTA was signed. We outsourced every possible thing we could and ran up more debt than Perot even imagined we could.

Sounds to me that everything Ross Perot was saying about NAFTA is or has been coming true. I think everyone was fixated with jobs in Mexico but we can easily relate that to any jobs exported to a low paid workforce.
So, the global economy and these trade agreements have us by the balls. It creates jobs overseas, lowers or slows our growth which diminishes the middle class, and sucks out our manufacturing jobs while only increasing profits for the invenstors and upper class.
Instead of fixating on taxe increases for the wealthy; we go after the trade agreements that allow them to produce cheap crap and suck out our jobs.
