NAFTA labor protections and environmental standards

We are still waiting for those Clinton promises as he signed NAFTA.

What will make the HCR "improvements in the future" promises, put forth now by Congress, believable when Obama signs HC insurance "reform"?

1. yup, all your gonna get is crickets.

He campaigned on no cadillac tax
He campaigned on a public option
He campaigned on no mandates.
He campaigned on drug price negotiations
The public option was offered as a compromise to single payer.
The House version was going to be "fixed" in the Senate.
The Senate version was going to be "fixed" in conference.
The Senate version was going to be "fixed" in reconcilliation

There are fixes alright. As in, "the fix is in".

There will be no "fixes". Congress won't wanna touch health CARE again for 15 years.

2. hahahahaNAFTA ..was a HUGE giveaway to multinational corporations

to gain access to slave labour so they could reap profits and avoid paying a decent wage. the fix was in back then, just like it is in now.

if people believe the politicians will come back and 'change and fix' these bills and policies , they are deluding themselves.

3. Major give away was U.S. sovereignty allowing NAFTA arbitration panels to override SCOTUS. n/t
