elmat,

You have a rich fantasy life. I admire that. But I'm a little skeptical.

For instance, in this latest post you suggested that Florida citrus growers, latino insurance clerks and U.S. automakers all ought to find new jobs.

What, pray tell, do you suggest? Be specific. Otherwise I'm going to have to conclude that you are full of sh!t and don't have any idea what these hundreds of thousands of displaced workers are going to find to do that pays an equivalent amount and affords a decent middle class life. I suspect that you don't have an answer, because no one else does either. We've seen this game. When plants close, people get sent down to McJobs that have no benefits, no future, no chance for advancement and hope. This is truly the race to the bottom. Don't deny it. Because you can't. There aren't real jobs to replace the ones destroyed by clever schemes to benefit the rich like NAFTA.

Re: No one is asking for NAFTA to solve the problems,

You couldn't be more wrong. Millions of us are questioning NAFTA precisely because it creates more problems than it solves.
