A post from December 2007
Have you seen a Democrats' 2008 debate lately? It's all NAFTA and free trade bashing.
Wasn't it President Clinton who signed NAFTA? And about China?
The Democrats have apparently forgotten that it was Pres. Clinton who signed the executive order giving China the preferred nation status:
"Yesterday the American people won a tremendous victory as a majority of the House of Representatives joined me in adopting our plan to revitalize America's economic future.
Today Members of Congress have joined me to announce a new chapter in United States policy toward China.
China occupies an important place in our Nation's foreign policy. It is the world's most populous state, its fastest growing major economy, and a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council. Its future will do much to shape the future…”
I am a free trade guy. I supported Pres. Clinton on free trade. It was one of the better things that came out of his inconsequential presidency.
However, today's Democrats are engaging in pathetic demagoguery bashing NAFTA and free trade in general.
