Should Ron Focus On Repealing NAFTA?

[SevenEyedJeff]

We all know NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement - implemented in the early '90s) isn't really free trade but corporate managed trade. The thing is, a lot of people my dad's age remember NAFTA and associate that with the outsourcing of jobs overseas. If Ron starts harping on this particular issue in debates, do you think he will start getting more attention? Sure beats 9-9-9 I think (which would become 12-12-12 then 15-15-15 etc.). Or does Ron need to promote a 0-0-0 plan and explain that government needs can be funded by tariffs and the selling of trillions of dollars in federal assets (which should be owned by the people not the government), like Harry Browne once suggested?

What are your thoughts?

Most people don't oppose NAFTA from a pro free trade point of view. They might even think that Ron Paul's pure free trade approach is even worse than trade agreements.

Yes he should do his best to extricate us from this job killing exercise in One World Socialism.
