Cancel NAFTA? After we've gained so many jobs??


Our illustrious President is not in favor of cancelling, ceasing or renegotiating NAFTA. In fact, he's pushing for a new trade agreement with Colombia. Clearly, there are still many American jobs to be sent out of the country.

Free, open and fair trade is good. However, when our trade deficit is at historic levels, there is no reason to continue to outsource good American jobs. I would be in favor of this new Colombian deal if prices got a bit cheaper or somehow more than a few Americans actually benefited from the agreement.
