Was anyone satisfied that Hillary intends to look at NAFTA again?

Answer 1

Considering her involvement with Wal Mart Mexico as a member of the Board of Directors before NAFTA? The Super Highway debackle? Doubtful she's doing a darn thing. Just the plot line for the day or event. Each scripted, or planted. You would think that obvious would be a red arrow=> trouble. With her it seems to work? Go figure.

Answer 2

In order to really answer this question, one needs to have a basic understanding of the principles of economics and free trade. NAFTA was and is a good idea. The theory behind of free trade is that you allow the country that can produce a product with the lowest opportunity cost, to do so, and the one that the nation can focus it's resources on something where it has a competitive advantage and in the end every one winds up with less expensive products. l. So if you're an executive earning $100 an hour, it's better to let someone type your letters for $15 an hour, even though you may do it better, so you can forcus earning your $100 per hour.

The flaw as Biden said in the debate, is not NAFTA, it's that it's not being enforced and China is still being allowed to ship in harmful products. We have the right and the ability to shut it down, but we are not doing it.

In the end NAFTA has had some over all benefits. And one has to remember that our debt is in U.S. dollars, that can only be spent here in the U.S. Also the U.S. prints it's own currency, so the threat is not going bankrupt, it's that we might monetize our debt and just print money to pay off the debt, causing inflation. (Same with Social Security)

Hillary is correct that it needs to be looked at and tweaked. That being said, history has shown that countries that do not engage in free trade do not fair as well and experience a lower level of prosperity.

Hillary is smart. She gets accused of double speaking because she understands both sides of the issues and she tries to find a middle ground. She's also right that NAFTA was a mistake in that it did not have the results that where intended, but that does not mean it should be scrapped.

It was a good first try and needs another look.

Answer 3

NAFTA certainly needs to be looked over again and revised. However, Hillary is not the person who should be involved in drafting such revisions.

Answer 4

Who cares?? the last time somone looked at NAFTA again was before it included Mexico, and was a Reagan's plan. When they looked at it again, Mexico was included and our borders opened.
what does that suggest to you?

Answer 5

This is just one more diversionary tactic to obscure her real agenda. I don't believe anything the woman says.

NAFTA is a slap in the face of the American worker and should be revoked.

Answer 6

I am NEVER satisfied with anything Hilary says. Why? Because I know she does not mean it other than for the popularity of the moment.

Answer 7

Hillary Clinton speaks and looks out of both sides of her face.

Answer 8

Ah how refreshing another basher...Never has anything good to say about his own candidate because????? maybe there is nothing good to say. So sad too bad.
Don't worry about your bushy who's idea it was...Blame someone else....Like a true conservative.
Wrong target again.

Answer 9

I am quite sure she will look at it just as the dems in congress have looked at the high gas prices. A good job of looking at it but will go out of their way to do nothing about it.

Answer 10

oh puhlease. you heard the debate response. all she remembered was alot of charts. she could care less unless a poll tells her to.
