NAFTA is 20 years old this month ...

Giant sucking sound.

very successful - the middle class in the US is well on its way to extinction.

Already dead for the most part.

You won't be able to hold any job before long without a $100,000 permission slip from some college somewhere.

Gotta get you locked in debt before you even get out of the gate.

Anybody else will just get thrown in prison with the 3 or 4 million other men.

Interesting perhaps that most "well paying jobs" which built the middle class were either union- type jobs (construction/ manufacturing) or government ones.

I'm thankful for NAFTA's TN visas.

Here's the full video of Perot vs. Al Gore.

Al Gore is "great" in this video. I was actually looking for Gore saying "American worker is ready to compete in the global workplace" which I have seen him saying in the past, but could not find it in this video. What is also interesting they both talk directly to the viewer looking straight at the camera at times. This is pretty powerful but for some reason nobody uses this technique nowadays. Does anybody know why ?
