three very different articles… but all point to the idea that NAFTA itself isn’t quite so simple… and that there is far more to what will be required for economic recovery than simply going after NAFTA…
the only reason i believe that Hillary privately argued against NAFTA during policy formation is that NAFTA did not include strong provisions for worker’s rights.. and that actually happens to be a subject that is important to her…
that.. and vague memories of reading political memoirs of those close to her that were written prior to her run for the presidency that support her resistance to the policy… it seems i recall some real sour grapes by some of Bill’s other advisers….
i am too tired to go looking for them now.
