Globalization didn't create global poverty...it just brought global poverty to everybody's attention.

Here's a pretty good video on globalization...
IT's a Commanding Heights PBS broadcast.
Commanding Heights: The New Rules of the Game | Neural Market Trends

I have no clue what the rest of the website is about...I just happened across it when looking for this video.

Okay man...you do realize that the people that made the report even said that NAFTA did not make their lives worse? Only that they would have been better off with a better NAFTA?

lol............ Never worked before.......... Will they call it the bush wall or the clinton wall??

This kinda reminds me of the movie "marco Polo" in the 80's........ Marco is asking the Khan (or one of his sons I can't recall) whats up w/ the wall...... The khan replies it is to keep out the barbarians.......... Marco then asked who are the barbarians.... After a little embarrassed hesitation he replies "we are the barbarians".....

No....what it said is that NAFTA did not make their lives worse...but that a better NAFTA could make their lives better....see the difference?

Do you know how many previously unemployed Mexicans got jobs because of NAFTA? Millions.

Even if there are some loser...there are more winners.

but they are working illegally in the US.

lol....no the ones that got the jobs near the northern border to the U.S. as our manufacturing moved down there.

BillCosby

Yea but how many got jobs "in Mexico"......???? LOL

A long the boarder in places like TJ there was a shortage of Mexicans.... THat is local spanish speaking kind for the lower paying jobs working in the American maquiladoras there.....

There is still a lot more money to be made here than there doing almost any job.........
