  Youre right.  NAFTA is awful, yet we must be able to sell our products
around the world.  One of our largest problems is the federal regulatory
agencies who have over regulated businesses to the point that many are
fleeing to other countries were regulations and taxation is far less.
 
  To a liberal, the way out here is to institute global government and
force all countries to have the same exact taxation and regulation.  To
a Conservative, the answer is to cut taxes, rules and regualations in
the USA so that Ameircans are more free and are able to compete with
other busineses.
