Giant Sucking Sound Part 2? The NAFTA Of The Pacific Will Soon Allow Millions More American Jobs To Be Shipped Overseas

The United States is negotiating one of the biggest free trade agreements in history and there is barely a peep about it on the news. Years ago, Ross Perot warned that if NAFTA was implemented there would be a "giant sucking sound" as millions of jobs left this country. It turns out that he was right. Starting on Tuesday, the next round of negotiations on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (also known as the "NAFTA of the Pacific") will begin in Chicago. We have already seen the Obama administration push hard for free trade agreements with Panama, South Korea and Colombia and the administration is making the Trans-Pacific Partnership a very high priority. Membership in the "NAFTA of the Pacific" already includes Brunei, Chile, New Zealand and Singapore. The United States, Australia, Peru, Malaysia and Vietnam are scheduled to join. Canada, Japan and South Korea are also reportedly considering membership. So once this "free trade" agreement is ratified, will we hear another "giant sucking sound" as millions more of our jobs are shipped overseas?

Look, it is not really that complicated. If you are a giant U.S. corporation, you can either make stuff here, or you can make stuff overseas where it is far, far less expensive to do so.

To greedy corporate executives, there are a lot of advantages to moving operations out of the country....

*It is legal to pay slave labor wages in many of these other countries. After all, why pay an American worker 10 or 20 times as much as a worker on the other side of the globe?

*In many of these other countries you do not have to provide any health care for workers.

*In many of these other countries there are virtually no environmental controls to worry about.

*In many of these other countries there are virtually no labor standards to worry about.

*In many of these other countries you only have to deal with a fraction of the "red tape" that you have to deal with in the United States.

By merging our economies with the economies of societies that are far different from our own, we have created a "race to the bottom" that is incredibly destructive to the U.S. economy.

In Vietnam, one dollar an hour is considered to be a very good wage.

So how do you plan to compete against that?

These "free trade agreements" are direct assaults on the big, juicy paychecks of American workers.

If you do not know about the Trans-Pacific Partnership, you need to get educated.

The following is a basic introduction to the TPP from Wikipedia....

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), also known as the Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement, is a multilateral free trade agreement that aims to further liberalise the economies of the Asia-Pacific region; specifically, Article 1.1.3 notes: “The Parties seek to support the wider liberalisation process in APEC consistent with its goals of free and open trade and investment.â€

Well Hey... U.S. Citizens are A-OK with it

they keep hiring Globalists in the House / Senate / POTUS

George Bush I - Globalist
Bill Clinton - Globalist
George Bush - Globalist
B. H. Obama - Globalist (200 (2012)

Rick Perry - Globalist
Mitt Romney - Globalist
Newt Gingrich - Globalist
Herman Cain - Former St. Louis Federal Reserve
Hillary Clinton - Globalist (200 (2012?)
John McCain - Globalist (200

the Deck has been Stacked and dumbed Down America Loses once more

again... the goal is to get you on wage Parity with China / India (Any of these Globalists are going to make it happen)

which means more jobs have to go for your wages to be driven down and you forced to accept them. As well, Illegal Aliens have to be given Amnesty to force you to compete for those few jobs left (Thats to break your will)

its like you dont get it ... oh well .. there is a major cost to being stupid as a Nation

It no longer matters how cheap the shirts are at Wal Mart once your income goes to zero. Many Americans are finding this out the hard way.

You would think every American would have woken to those facts by now. And the unions blame the Tea Party but it is their own politicians they support that are doing this. And it does not matter if they are Democrat or Republican.

So where does this all fit into Obama's job plans for Americans? Remember he told America,enough of sending our jobs overseas.

Welcome to the Countries of CAFTA



To the casual observer, the Central American and Caribbean countries of CAFTA appear to be very similar. Upon closer examination, each has its own characteristics and qualities that manifest themselves in very different economies and unique business opportunities for companies. The following are brief capsules of the six countries, and links to more information—economic, business, governmental and cultural—about each.
