NAFTA and CAFTA Exports and Excessive Foreign Imports Destroying United States Manufacturing Economy

Written by: Martha Miller on Feb 25, 2008 4:15 PM EST

NAFTA and CAFTA Exports and Excessive Foreign Imports are Destroying the United States Manufacturing Economy that the 70% MAJORITY Common Population Relies upon for their welfare.

NAFTA and CAFTA exports and excessive foreign imports are examples of dishonesty in government.  .

How did exports under NAFTA and CAFTA become examples of dishonesty? NAFTA and CAFTA exports are cash cows, invisioned and implemented for the benefit of the upper 30% that own and control the U.S. economy and burden the 70% MAJORITY Common Population, because NAFTA and CAFTA exports get rid of reasonably priced needed commodities for the 70% MAJORITY Common Population, and inflates the price on all remaining commodities for the 70% MAJORITY Common Population, which is dishonest to the 70% MAJORITY Common Population, as these and possibly other trade agreements are serving the benefit of the few at the expense of the many.

When Obama and Hillary are talking about NAFTA and whether or not NAFTA is good for the economy -- they are not talking about whether or not NAFTA is good for the overall economy, because NAFTA IS NOT GOOD FOR THE OVERALL ECONOMY -- those who think NAFTA and CAFTA are good for the economy are talking about NAFTA and CAFTA being good for the few capitalists at the top that are benefiting from the trade agreements -- they are not talking about the 70% MAJORITY Common Population's class and culture that receives NO BENEFIT -- NAFTA and CAFTA are NOT GOOD for the 70% MAJORITY Common Population in any way.

NAFTA and CAFTA are examples of class and cultural law working against the 70% MAJORITY Common Population as a class and culture.

The NAFTA and CAFTA trade agreements are the United States exporting to other countries to bring in capital; however due to the resulting price increases in our own domestic markets caused by the NAFTA and CAFTA reduction of supply in our own domestic markets, prices rise in our own domestic markets.Exporting our supply from our own economy gets rid of the commodities in our own economy that are required for our own domestic markets. When our government gets rid of the commodities required by our own domestic markets through NAFTA and CAFTA, this increases the prices in our own domestic markets making it prohibitive for the average citizen to be able to purchase needed commodities at the higher prices because wages have not risen.

NAFTA and CAFTA have taken the American peoples jobs as citizens in their own domestic economy, and reduced the citizens of the 70% MAJORITY Common Populations purchasing capacity to where they are now no longer citizens, but are consumers, consuming the commodities from foreign economies, protecting other countries economies at the destruction of our own manufacturing economy in the United States.

American workers are no longer participating in their domestic economy as BOTH employees and consumers. Our government is replacing our manufacturing economy with a SERVICE ECONOMY where the country's money is concentrated only in the hands of a few and everyone else provides SERVICES to that few, which is called financialization, which is good for the few, but the many have to live on pittance wages. As a result of the NAFTA and CAFTA exports to balance trade, the United States then turns around and imports CHEAP products from the same trading partners which undercuts our own domestic manufacturing capacity.

Also, how does imports become examples of dishonesty in government? The 70% MAJORITY Common Population of the United States is losing with Wal-Mart type imports by many corporations, but in a different manner, as the United States is not exporting, only importing and these imports drain our economy of capital and destroy our manufacturing capacity, as we no longer need factories to make the commodities that we import. Without factories, there is no employees, without employees there is no wages and without wages there is nothing to fuel our own domestic economy. The Wal-Mart type import economic strategy destructs in an equivalent manner as NAFTA and CAFTA, only with imports instead of exports.

When the United States supports foreign economies at the expense of their own manufacturing economy by excessive imports and trade agreements, the United States is sowing the seeds of the destruction of the U.S. manufacturing economy of which the 70% MAJORITY Common Population is dependent. WE THE PEOPLE must not allow the short term financial benefit of the few to destroy the benefit of the U.S. manufacturing economy for the many.
