The Obama Administration Isn't Serious - Part XXXVIII

Congress Doesn't Respect Nafta - WSJ.com:
"Nobody can argue that Mexico hasn't worked tirelessly for more than a decade to avoid a dispute with the United States over Mexican long-haul trucks traveling through this country. But free and fair trade hit another red light this past week. The U.S. Congress, which has now killed a modest and highly successful U.S.-Mexico trucking demonstration program, has sadly left my government no choice but to impose countermeasures after years of restraint and goodwill."


Despite the current bear rally on Wall Street, the world economic situation continues to unravel. Nations around the world are already worried about resurgent protectionism in the Democrat controlled US government. Now, in a silly dispute over 98 trucks (!) the Democrats have violated NAFTA and picked a protectionist fight with Mexico. Their position is unethical, illogical, illegal and dangerous. It's just another pay-off to the unions, in this "post-special-interest era."
