CAFTA - Why you should care | by GlennM
Someone asked about CAFTA in the last meeting. Hightower's talked about it in his newsletter, but I haven't been able to find an online link. So, here's a summary that I found from a group in North Carolina.
Generally, progressives don't like CAFTA because:
* Perot's "Giant Sucking Sound" of lost jobs would get even louder. It's a race to the bottom across all borders.
* Companies could sue us if they believe our regulations are hurting their profits. Sounds impossible? It's already happened under NAFTA. Folks shouldn't be scared of black helicopters invading us. Instead, they should be petrified of squadron's of corporate lawyers.
