<If NAFTA and all these other "trade agreements" were so "great" for America and in its best economic interests, why is it that we are incurring such colossal and chronic trade deficits with just about ALL of our trading partners???? > Not that I disagree with you, but I never could understand how anyone would think a rich country [U.S.] would EVER run a trade surplus with a poor one [Mexico]. Sure it does happen, but IMO a perpetual trade deficit with poor countries is just plain common sense and shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. DAK

What? I bet you believe that the US is a democracy and that US actions are divine and just! LOL Boy it's people like you that watch CNN and CNBC and actually believe the lies you're served. As long as you and people like you get to decide on US politics the rest of the world is doomed. "Japan, China, Korea and the EU are all mercantilistic based economies. They'll sign any trade agreement which allows them to sell carte blanche in the U.S. and then they'll build one bureaucratic obstacle after another to prevent us from selling in their country. Adam Smith should be turning over in his grave by now. We need to tell China to go to hell and then sue Japan for war reparations. you heard me right." So how much better do you think things should become for Americans and how much more blood should the rest of the Earth's people give so that you can partake in the American (borrowed) dream? I'm sorry but to hear someone claim that the US is getting a bad deal under the current system (engineered and sustained through force from the US) is similar to listening to a Nazi complaining that Jews burn too slow and it is unfair for hard working Germans to bare alone all the energy costs for the furnace.
