U.S. lawmakers launch push to repeal NAFTA

A most excellent idea !!

Thank God! It's about time.

I doubt anything will come of it until it's too late (maybe that's now?). I think it will take a currency collapse for it to happen. By then we'll have a global currency.

they are also trying to repeal tax break to move your buiniss over seas we must give them are support

Best idea I've seen come outta the gub'mnt in a long time.




.

I applaud these efforts!

Definitely, the best idea possible from members of Congress in reference to addressing the job situation in the U.S.


Brilliant!

Yesterday there was also legislation introduced in the US House to repeal all tax credits for US businesses that are moving or have all their labor based out of country.

Will it go anywhere?

At least some US House Representative are trying.

Damn, I sez DAMN, looks like a few congressmen found their balls.

Praise God, they have seen the light!

would it be election time?

I think so

Didn't they try to shaft NAFTA years ago?

YESSS.....OH FRIG YESSSSS!!!!

I want to commend these reps and/or donate to their campaigns!!!

Obama criticized NAFTA during the 2008 presidential election campaign but has not followed through on threats to withdraw from the agreement if Canada and Mexico did not agree to revamp the pact's labor and environmental provisions.

But many Democrats are pushing for that and other changes to existing trade deals before considering any new deals such as the deals with South Korea, Colombia and Panama.

The House of Representatives is expected to vote later this year on whether the United States should remain a member of the World Trade Organization.

U.S. law allows House and Senate members to request a vote on that issue every five years. In 2005, 86 of the House's 435 members voted to withdraw from the world trade body.

+1

[color=re Its about dam F*****g time.. them dam clintons!

They were not scared back then of being thrown out. They have to give you a bone and I guess Nafta is what they think will save their necks. THINK AGAIN. To LITTLE, to LATE.

Bush started it and Clinton finished it. That tells me all I need to know, the Repubs and Dems are in this together and you are the spoils of the war they fight together.

YOU HAVE BEEN BOILED.

I'm sure that would make many Canadians very happy. The only winners in that deal was big business and the politicians that stuffed their pockets.

Well, if they cancelled NAFTA and phased it out over afew years, I can see a painful transition back to a healthy manufacturing base. It will likely bring another recession, riots, and social chaos where manufacturing has been for the past 2 decades.

Overall I think this is just lip service.

I will tell you that I have been across Canada in the past 2 years and I have seen the devastation that losing our manufacturing base has brought. I now live Detroit Michigan and abot 80% of the auto manufacturing has disappeared in the last 10 years. That's not including the textiles, electronics, and all the rest of hte things we take for granted that we have lost in the past 50 years.

It is time for renaissance of manufacturing ni America !!

IT IS ALL POLITICAL B.S. UNLESS WE SEE A BILL PRESENTED & APPROVED.

Unless this has backing and a chance to be approved I see this as being nothing more than a "hot button" issue like flag burning that these idiots in DC role out every few years so people forget to vote then out of office.

Even if they present a bill we all know it has no chance...its a great idea but honestly when was the last time a great idea was passed in congress?

#1 The house of Reps usually tries to represent their constituents but often fail.

#2 I dated an attorney who specialized in helping big corps save millions on taxes.. they will find a way.. it is criminal what they can get away with

Same fracking defeatist attitude that keep getting the likes of the Bush's, Clinton's and now Obama's and a zillion Congress people re-elected.

Don't push it because "we all know it has no chance" is just like don't vote for Ross Perot because he has no chance or don't vote for Ron Paul because has no chance.

This mindest and its multi-sourced megaphones has to be silenced.

It is time for renaissance of manufacturing in America !!
And it is time to Repeal NAFTA.

Well then you all need to write letters to your representatives immediately to tell them to repeal NAFTA/WTO. Do it NOW.

Some any don't realize this because they only get their US House news from teh MSM an its talking head selected very few of the US House reps that fit the MSMs agenda.

If one watches the Special Order Speeches, one soon discovers there are in fact many many US House Representative that think like you, except they get no expousre to the People and hence no support from the rest of the people.

Lip service...have a read.
