You can thank NAFTA for this.

Has NAFTA kept any ofits promises?
you mean other than benefiting Mexico by exporting our jobs and industries? I don't think so

Jerry Irv> Has NAFTA kept any ofits promises?
Ha, we have the same problem, not only do the chinese keep coming over (by boat this time) but our jobs keeps getting exported to China because a bunch of Taiwanese entrepneurs feel that its so much cheaper to manufacture in China than Taiwan... so hence the lack of availability of manufacturing jobs and a really high unemployment rate (something like close to 5%) Thats not including undocumented workers from China, Indonesia, Thailand and host of other east asian 3rd world countries...
You're getting a lot of Canadian products at bankruptcy prices... so don't complain TOO much... ;-)
Ray,
I did not intend to make you look like a complete and utter moron. That wasn't the point of my message.
Ok, so I left out that the vast majority of green onions sold in this country were grown in California. Before NAFTA, the USA imported more of it's green onions from Mexico.
I really wasn't trying to humiliate you in public. I'd like to apologize publicly for doing this to you. I should have included more information in my message. I'm trying to learn how to be brief, but it doesn't seem to be coming together
Frankly, I wasn't even thinking about NAFTA.
Again, I'm sorry.

You need to add clear plastic flight fins ala the Centuri kit. If you position them all the same as they slide over the primary fin the rocket also spins which further increases stability.

I suppose it could happen in the U.S. but to the best of my ability, I make certain ANYTHING we eat does NOT come from Mexico. I wouldn't even buy cheap B14 motors from Mexico. ; )

The same ones Clinton did. Of course by now, most people have forgotten that Mr. Peanut sent the textile industry to Asia 20 years ago. I love the South and I hate to say this but please don't ever elect a president from any state in the South again.
Randy
Randy,
Weren't the Republicans pushing real hard for NAFTA? I seem to remember them saying it was the only thing Clinton did right.
Strange.
Then again, I'm supporting Santorum against Ashcroft and the Democrats. I didn't think there was anything that could make me support Santorum. Hell, there's GLBT Pennsylvania rocketry people that I know who will vote for Santorum.
Bizarre planet.

If you've bought a Ford your crappy transmission (notice all the Ford Taurus' on the side of the road?) was made in Mexico
Count me in!!!!!!!!!! Santorem aye Spectre good bye.......ashcroft is a mutant, a mental midget.....a horse's hermerroid......and Yes the Repubs thought that NAFTA would fill their bank accounts, but aren't they for anything in the hope's of that? Regardless of the damage? Soon they'll say Alaska is cool to dump on......the law suits from Mexican regional courts are really gonna kill the government-that reads American taxpayer, while the protected companies carry on.......and charge us through the nose while the CEO makes a billion.........I can see through the smoke, and I ain't happy
Zoot
If in fact that is your real name....is your ass from PA? I usually don't reply to those without a real name (got a special call for people who can't stand behind their mouth-it's got a feminine connotation) but I have allowed you stay out of the killfile for some reason.
Like... Texas? Or California...? ;-)
Agreed. ; )
Randy
Wait a minute! You can blame us for alot but Califonia!? ; )
Randy
Naw... just a Saturn. ; ) Hey, at least it's got a good rocket name!
Randy
I don't think those are considered "in the south" even though the geographical postions are in the southernmost portion of the country. Arizona is not "in the south" eithher.
South roughly trasnslates to confederate.
Texas was it's own country. Some think it still is.
Correct.
Randy
Whoa! Jerry, you and I are neighbors. I live in Claremont too. Maybe we could hook up when I get this SV done and see what she'll do. Where do you launch around here? I had intended on heading out to a client's building site in Banning but something closer would be nice.
