Our economy needs to be made strong again in order to spur job creation. The first step toward a more stable economy is to start ridding ourselves of the ridiculous deficit that we have now.

I'm in a quandry about NAFTA. Not a quandry where i question that it is bad, but a quandry where....how can we hope to make businesses stay in our country when most of the rest of the world isn't up to our living standards? how can it be done? I can imagine some serious forces working against taxing businesses who ship their business overseas...
But how can we convince Capitalist america to do these things? business owners are in business for money. It's cheaper to pay workers overseas. How can we stop it? I'm pretty damn sure business owners won't wake up and see the light of how they're detrimental to our society.
It just seems impossible to make a business owner here pay our wages, and our health benefits, etc, when someone else will do it for $3 a day. And i'm not saying that is right, I'm just saying that business owners will never do it, and that the standard of living in many of these other countries is to different from ours to ever...awww....I just haven't found the solution, except by law, to require them to hold business here. Judging from the vice grip corporations have always had on politics and law, it's hard to see the right ever happening.
GDW?
