Do You Hear That Sucking Sound?


Does anyone remember back in 1992 Ross Perot saying "Do you hear that sucking sound?  That's jobs going to Mexico."

Perot's  statement was made about President Bill Clinton's free trade policy with Mexico.

President Clinton started the free trade policies that both Democrats and Republicans alike are still practicing today.  Can someone please explain why the policy is so good for the U.S.A?



AS I SEE IT:  I can hear that 'sucking sound'.  Our country has been loosing job's every since Free Trade started.  It may be good for the rest of the world, but certainly not for the U.S. Labor force or the middle class working American.

CANADA:  $40,280.

EURO ZONE:  $54,290.

AS I SEE IT:  The shipping cost to China is HUGE!
Yea!  Free Trade!  Tariffs?
