"American Families Are Hungry Too! CAFTA Passage Questioned"

[Bluebear]

WASHINGTON, July 28 -- Early Thursday morning the House passed the Central American Free Trade Agreement by a two-vote margin, 217-215. The Senate approved CAFTA-DR last month; it now goes to the President for his signature.

The agreement's said purpose is to open trade between the US, Central America and the Dominican Republic to promote higher paying and better jobs, investment in America and helping to forge relations with developing countries, supposedly cutting down on job loss and immigration issues.

"Why would America purposely give away American jobs to bridge relations with developing countries?" asks Janice McLean DeLoatch, syndicated TV host of Entrepreneurs Edge. "Americans are already suffering from manufacturing and textile jobs being lost overseas. I know this from my own personal business experience. Our families are hungry too. I would like to know if those in the US House had businesses deals that will be impacted by this agreement. Do we deserve to have American businesses go out-of-business for the sake of helping the democracies of Central America and the Dominican Republic succeed."

1. Why would she think CAFTA helps anyone in Central America?

Other than the ruling class thugs, I mean. People down there have died in demonstrations against it.

2. Americans were starving on the streets before *NAFTA*

Social and economics affairs in this country are truly far beyond stupidly managed.

3. USA: 12 mill. hungry: 1OO,OOO homelss die/yr from heat, cold, rat bites,

and hunger.

1 million homeless on any one night, 3 million involved over a years time.. a churning effect.. as some climb out, others fall in.

die at three times normal rate.
--- they also suffer from criminals. With no door to lock, how can one be safe from thrill-beatings? From Coat stealing? From theft of the few coins one has begged? From theft of any pills given out at a free clinic?

bush's cuts in newly current budget, to food stamps, will add another mllion to the hungry.. 13 million new total. Nice christian guy. 12 billion would restore all food stamps and end US hunger.
But his taxcuts for the rich totalled 35O billion.

Now cafta will add to US poverty, hmlssness, hunger.
