[QUOTE="Lurker66, post: 2004481, member: 24459"] Businesses were not driven overseas. Look at Wrangler, every small town had a sewing factory, NAFTA made it easy for them to move to Mexico where labor was cheaper. In 1987 a pair of Wranglers cost about $14-17 bucks. After NAFTA the cost went up although labor went down. Then what, they get Chinese to make them even cheaper, yet the cost of a pair of Wranglers went up even more. We dont have the natural resources to supply the entire world with products to buy, yet we need to provide some meaningfull jobs for our citizens. The scales of the free global market and unchecked capitolism need to be brought to balance. We're not going to stop the global economy from growing but we do need to reign in US capitolism a little. Thats within our control. [/QUOTE]
