Made In America, Not...

[NewGuy]

I am not sure why so many Americans continue to ignore this fact.

I remember Gore saying in 1992 that he didn't care if we "manufactured potato chips or computer chips, we need jobs in America". When I heard that, I was thinking, it does matter! A person making potato chips on an assembly line isn't going to make near th $$ of somebody making computer chips......

Technology is where it's at and technology requires a little bit of brains.

-And we go to India for it?

This is exactly what I mean by a dumbed down American socity.

While Gore might have been "saying" that, it is the same year Gore was saying O.K to this:

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), signed on December 17, 1992, is a trilateral economic agreement among Canada, Mexico, and the United States. The objective of NAFTA is to phase out barriers to trade in goods and services in North America, eliminate barriers to investment and strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights. Since trucking is the principal means of commercial transportation between the countries, the NAFTA includes a number of provisions which impact current cross-border truck and bus operations. Currently:
U.S. trucks are not permitted to operate in Mexico, Mexican trucks are limited to operations in the commercial zones along the border with the United States.
Mexico permits no foreign investment in transportation companies based in Mexico.
The United States permits foreign investment, but limits Mexicans to a non-controlling interest in truck and bus companies based in the United States.

If Americans had any smarts, they would have protested NAFTA untill it was ended.

Damn this is a good monkey site... everyone should mark the data on this current link to refute the Democrats and their lies about the economy!

I've been holding the feces throwing monkey for some time and nobody will go near him with all the feces build up around him.

We even contacted the Phillipean government and they won't even come and take him away, even if we pay them!

What in Allah's name do we do with the Feces Flinging Monkey???
