Pardon my ignorance....I am so confused...what does NAFTA
have to do with China? I remember watching Gore debate what's his face (the little guy with the big ears). Anyhoo, I thought it involved Canada, Mexico and U.S. Ya know, North America? Millions of jobs were already lost to Mexico and Canada didn't pose much threat because of their comparable labor wages and laws. I thought it was about opening their markets to us. No?

North America = China? I hate not understanding this issue.

Help me....I feel so stoooopid!

another antilabor trade policy Clinton rammed through before he realized what pubbies were and that he should have held back on them to use to get something like universal healthcare.
