As has already been mentioned, it's not "free trade".... it's controlled
trade.

Hey ****ll.... it's NOT a 'global currency'... at least not yet.

Kiss my ass.

EARLY EFFECTS:
"Since the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was
signed in 1993, the rise in the U.S. trade deficit with Canada and
Mexico through 2002 caused the displacement of production that
sup****ted 879,280 U.S. jobs. NAFTA is a free trade and investment
agreement that provided investors with a unique set of guarantees
designed to stimulate foreign direct investment in Mexico and
Canada.
It has facilitated the movement of factories from the United
States to
Canada and Mexico. Most of these jobs were high-wage positions in
manufacturing industries." -- US Economic Policy Institute
(EPI)

• The agreement has taken a toll on both U.S. and Mexican jobs,
according to the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS). While real wages
for Mexican manufacturing workers declined 13.5%, more than
half a million U.S. employees have entered government retraining
programs after their companies moved production south or north
of the border, says IPS.
• NAFTA has wiped out Canadian social programs, says IPS.
• The pact has also destroyed Mexico's small farmers, says IPS,
bringing in an influx of subsidized U.S. food im****ts. In fact, about
1.3 million farm jobs have been lost since 1993, indicates a recent
re****t by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
"NAFTA has been a disaster for us," remarks pig farmer Julian
Aguilera to Business Week.
• The Carnegie re****t also concluded that the pact has generated
few new jobs in Mexico and might only be credited for a "very small
net gain" in jobs in the U.S.
• The new study also found that NAFTA has been ineffective in
stemming the tide of illegal Mexican immigrants entering the U.S.
to find jobs. In fact, according to most estimates, the number of
Mexicans working illegally in the U.S. surged to 4.8 million in 2000,
more than twice the 1990 total.

--- Martha Ojeda
"The only winners of (NAFTA) are the cor****ations. And all
social sectors of civil society working class, middle class,
small and medium enterprises, students and universities
and even governments need to unite to fight against these
negative impacts," said Ojeda, who is the executive director
for the Coalition for Justice in the Maquiladoras.
Maquiladora workers face air and water pollutions, poor living
conditions, birth defects and miscarriages from toxic exposure,
***ual harassment and police brutality while earning about $50
a week, Ojeda added. "These workers are in similar or worse
condition than before 1995 when NAFTA was put into effect,"
Ojeda said. The promises of a higher standard of living and an
increase in employment in the border zones of Mexico have
merely become broken promises. The current recession in the
U.S. has led to more than 300,000 maquiladora employees losing
their jobs.
Here.... this is apparently, about your speed....
