Nor do you get what's called a Tchotchke Economy: where the price of toys becomes cheaper and cheaper to distract from the huge problem of the necessities (housing, higher education, health care, etc) being priced further and further out of reach. Cheap toys, but with less good-paying, no padding jobs, higher home prices, no benefits, taxes continually being shifted away from those that REALLY need to pay them and AREN'T paying their fair share, a soaring trade deficit and national debt . . . er, where exactly do you think this is all going to lead?

Should you yell TIMBER or should I?

Or maybe you should just read my journal on why the unbridled corporatist model you're so in love with sucks the balls of the dead for the 99% of the planet that DOESN'T have a 7 to 11 figure net worth?

And NAFTA was NOT good for the working classes or the environments for all nations involved. It elevated only the robber barons.
