look at what it's done to us. There were many folks opposed to it at the time. Their careers were trashed...including a few in the press who were never the same afterwards.
It was a road down the path to hell. Instead of investing at home in keeping regulation tight to stop the "Merger Mania, Stock Market Craze of the late 90's and the Enron and Fannie May/Freddie Mac, Arthur Andersen and the rest Crooks" it allowed us to happily fill the US with importants that were cheap and cut off the ability of the "small business" to compete in the light manufacturing/textile businesses.
It's been a killer...but the "cow is out of the barn and long gone over the hill." We will live with this disgusting legislation...that Clinton compromised us on...for what? What did he get out of it. Eight years of being hounded by the Right and an Impeachment. He may have been for it at first but if he had misgivings later, he was so weakened he couldn't stop it or revise it or control it.
And Lieberman and Dodd made sure that Wall St. got the loosened regulation that led in tandem with the import flood to the Enrons and all the rest we are living with today...UGH......ARGHHHHHHHH A book needs to be written...I can't be rational about NAFTA....in writing everything I know about it....without raving
