U.S. Trade Policy and Job-Destroying Treaties, WTO & NAFTA

How can we solve our economic crisis if we keep sending all of our jobs to China and the third world? The subject in this pre-economic collapse interview might have seemed remote and esoteric even a year or two ago. Today it is hard to find anyone who doesn't know someone who lost their job, and a real recovery is impossible unless Americans buy American products made by American workers. Those who tell otherwise are as credible as those who claim the "emperer's new clothes are magnificent!

Policy analyst Jock Nash describes the effects of job-destroying treaties including the World Trade Organization (WTO), NAFTA and CAFTA; which have eliminated millions of American jobs, and transferred American wealth overseas. What happened to businesses in America being patriotic? Hiring Americans? Making safe products in America? "American" corporations now move manufacturing to China to escape pollution and safety laws and to exploit near-slave and sweatshop labor--that's not patriotic and that's not safe for consumers or good for the environment. Chinese toy workers make an average of 36 cents per hour in brutal conditions; no American worker's job is safe when competing with slave wages--unbtil American wages are brought down to Chinese slave wage levels. Big corporations have proved that every job that can't be outsourced to China will be "insourced" with low-paid 3rd-world immigrants. Will the U.S. still have a middle class in 10-20 years when all middle class jobs are gone?

The trade deficit increases every year. America loses 1% of it's wealth to foreign owners every year. Trade must be balanced, either with tariffs or other means; trade with China is mostly one-sided. The WTO prevents the US from taking the necessary steps to regulate commerce, yet the Constitution gives Congress, not foreign bureaucrats the ability to regulate trade. China reaps an additional 40% advantage from their currency devaluation. A great many Chinese companies are owned by the Chinese Army, thus American consumption profits China's war machine.

Conservative Roundtable. Don't make me laugh. Ronald Reagan, the high priest of Conservativism is the Father of Free Trade policies that hurt America.

[TCCTV]

You are correct, Reagan was a free trader as are too many Republicans and supposed conservatives.

We (Conservative Roundtable/The Conservative Caucus) didn't support free trade then and don't now. The true solution to the economic crisis is to restore American manufacturing; there is no national wealth in selling Chinese products to each other. If everyone buys American it won't matter if NAFTA and WTO exist; consumer demand alone will restore US jobs. Look for the label and buy American!

[TCCTV]

Let's give thanks to our brave soldiers who gave their life to secure and preserve our independence, freedom & independence.

Independence, freedom (and prosperity) are linked; and the NAU, NAFTA, WTO & other policies which make America dependent on dictatorships like China & oil-producing countries are among the greatest threats to our independence, freedom & prosperity. Open borders also destroy our independence, freedom & prosperity.

Let's resolve to stop these threats, take action now!

[TCCTV]

NAFTA, WTO and other trade treaties have placed every job in America in danger. Our middle class jobs are forced into direct competition with sweatshop and prison labor in China and 3rd world countries. No job can ever compete with sweatshop/prison labor and the complete lack of health, safety and pollution laws in China and the 3rd world.

Urge Congress and all candidates to scrap WTO & NAFTA, and rebuild American manufacturing and jobs before the recession turns into a depression.

[RoteHaareMann]

treaties destroy jobs and create others, actually.

[TCCTV]

Created: low-wage jobs selling Chinese products to each other--but most such jobs are being filled by immigrants not Americans.

WTO/Outsourcing is EVIL! Rich people dump their manufacturing in China damnit!!!! even my keyboard is made in china!

[HemiHead66]

There are no true conservatives in Washington. They're a bunch of traitors that have been executing their plan to outsource America to maximize profits. They're trying to build a world of cheap labor. Everyone thinks Clinton was responsible for NAFTA but he only signed it. NAFTA came from the Republicans. The first Bush, and maybe before him. I've been a Republican all my life because I thought they were the ones that were trying to build this country. Boy did I get that one wrong.

[vulture3112]

Not to defend Reagan, but I honestly believe that when he pushed for free trade with minimal governement interference he was not expecting the kind of cruel economic savagery we see today. In his mind during his presidency in the 80´s he thought he would be helping by creating more US jobs and higher standards of living. He never could have imagined in a million years that US jobs would be exported to Asia instead. He must be rolling in his grave.

[hamace]

@cracks21229 Reagan was free trade to counter union strangle hold on manufacturing and bringing more industries into the US. He would not have given China MFN status and put us into debt ot communists.

He did not approve of NAFTA, it took Clinton to get the bill signed.

Reagan was not as great as many republicans like to think, but he was far better than the traitors who followed him

[ohmygoodness091]

Lets build up poorer nations at the cost of our own industry and labor. This is what we have done..And at what cost to the american labor force?? No-one even cares anymore on this concearn! Look at the last reply...7 months ago...and the usa goes in the same way...bonuses to the scumbags who ripped us off and we who bailed them out!! Anyone out-there??? Does anyone care anymore? Or is everyone watching american idol???

[cliffw77]

Amen

Here here! China screws America on an everyday basis, and so do the American corpoorations for whoring themselves with cheap chinese makers.

All we are doing when we buy Chinese is making China to become the most powerful power in the world. They will take those toy factories to make guns if need be.
