Thread: Clamoring To Kill Bush's Biggest Trade Deal

Duties, Taxes, imposts and exposts were to be levied to pay the debts of the government. This applies to goods crossing national AND state borders.

The only thing I recall which was explicit was they were to be uniformly applied to all states.

Well, it should come up for renewal 2006 or if extended, 2008. We'd have to tell Congress not to grant it again. It sidesteps Congress Constitutional authority to alter trade deals.

Just think, he could begin railroading CAFTA and FTAA through and Congress would be handcuffed.

I am afraid that is what he might try to do. Impeach King George!

Above is a link to the Fast Track bill that was passed in 2001.

Link to Charles Norwood of GA and his take on the Fast Track and why it's bad.

THIS is what I was afraid of!

I had believed it was originally CONGRESS'S authority. Wouldn't this be called an "Un-Constitutional" act?

Extremely ironic. Read the Declaration of Independence and you will see some things that seem to be happening now.

They were allowed to vote on it. It is a disgrace that the American people aren't being allowed to voice their opinion and are kept from having a say so in this debate, much the same way as illegal immigration. Everyone knows that NAFTA was a disaster and yet Bush is pushing hard for a trade agreement that is actually worse. He knows he can't get his amnesty past so he's trying to push this through without the public knowing what hit them. This guy is hellbent on appeasing his big business cronies at all cost. He must be stopped and stopped cold. Otherwise you can say goodbye to the middle class of America.

Bush's says this is a good deal for America. No Jorge, it's only good for corporate America. In fact this is even a raw deal for Central America. This is nothing more than a deal where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. This is a such a walking violation of workers rights. The only other thing this will ensure is that more citizens will be on the welfare rolls. This is disgusting.

But haven't you heard. Bush said 'I spoke to the American people and .....'. I don't remember him talking to me about NAFTA, CAFTA or any other AFTA. Did he talk to any of you?
