How we got here? Remember GNAT, and NAFTA, free trade agreements anyone? Which improved the standards of living in those 3rd world countries, But, allowed American copies to build factories over in those countries paying slave labor and eventually putting the American worker out of a job. The idea was good but, not structured to prevent this sabotage of the American worker which created a domino effect when monies were being made by these greedy companies, and they called it the American way! NOT! The idea was a get rich quick scheme for the Clintons, they infiltrated other countries for money
Moderator's Note: The economics are sound and work if people adhere to the rules. E.g., New York benefits from cheaper labor in Mississippi.
