U.S. Trade Policy and Job-Destroying Treaties, WTO & NAFTA

Back


Policy analyst Jock Nash describes the effects of job-destroying treaties including the World Trade Organization (WTO), NAFTA and CAFTA; which have eliminated millions of American jobs, and transferred American wealth overseas. What happened to businesses in America being patriotic? Hiring Americans? Making safe products in America? "American" corporations now move manufacturing to China to escape pollution and safety laws and to exploit near-slave and sweatshop labor--that's not patriotic and that's not safe for consumers or good for the environment. Chinese toy workers make an average of 36 cents per hour in brutal conditions; no American worker's job is safe when competing with slave wages. Big corporations have proved that every job that can't be outsourced to China will be "insourced" with low-paid 3rd-world immigrants. Will the U.S. still have a middle class in 10-20 years when all middle class jobs are gone? The trade deficit increases every year. America loses 1% of it's wealth to foreign owners every year. Trade must be balanced, either with tariffs or other means; trade with China is mostly one-sided. The WTO prevents the US from taking the necessary steps to regulate commerce, yet the Constitution gives Congress, not foreign bureaucrats the ability to regulate trade. China reaps an additional 40% advantage from their currency devaluation. Most Chinese companies are owned by the Chinese Army, thus American consumption profits China's war machine.
