NAFTA Approval
Al Gore would only approve of NAFTA if it truly brought economic prosperity to the world without sacrificing American jobs. The fact that during the Clinton-Gore years we actually added 23 million new jobs, is only proof it can work if instituted properly.

If you remember, NAFTA came in at a time when a global economy was just taking hold. The original idea of NAFTA was that it would incorporate the Koyto Treaty and force corps to pay decent wages in foreign countries and had environmental provisions that were geared to be increased as time went by because most third world countries (where corps could hire slave labor) had no environmental laws at all. Now corps are free to hire at .15 to .25 cents per hour and work sweatshops with no environmental restrictions at all and Bush wants to dump the Koyoto Treaty altogether. Can't have any restrictions on his war chest monies! This is why the Rio Grande River is so polluted that it actually catches fire from time to time, brain cancer is epidemic in new births, Texas residents are screaming about air pollution, and nothing is being done by Bush & crew about it.
