How are NAFTA and GATT related to Dubai ports sale ?

[kentuck]

Of course, the trade treaties opened the doors to free trade and the export of many of our jobs out of this country. But it increased the number of ships and the amount of goods coming back into our country. Jobs, Nafta, GATT, Dubai ports sales, trade deficits, standard of living are all interconnected. Reagan's brainchild, the CFIUS, has come full circle. Where do we go next?

1. Business as usual.

The fire sale on America's assets will continue unabated, our standard of living will continue to plummet, meaningful government reform will elude us, as the incumbents have zero motivation to effect said reform, and global warfare will be stoked by the US machine.

3. every president since nixon

has done nothing for the american middle class and poor. every trade policy has been designed to eliminate the american worker from a decent standard of living and a retirement. where do we go next? i know that the middle class and the poor will continue to suffer because neither party cares about the american worker.
