2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Hillary when you get to Flint, take a good look around at the poster city for NAFTA [View all]bvar22
(39,909 posts)66. Laughing my ASS off.
This thread actually has people arguing that NAFTA was a GOOD thing for American Workers.
How completely absurd and blind is that????
Look the fuck around.
Ross was Right, but Bill was smooth.

NAFTA/CAFTA did not destroy Flint, they buried Flint... at least according to Michael Moore.
