I hate to tell the Reverend, but even if we were of the mind to “rescind” NAFTA, jobs are still going to go abroad. Aside from arresting people for investing abroad, you can’t stop it-nor should we want to do so. If you force employers to keep plants in the US, that isn’t going to save jobs. Indeed, it will evenutally cost them. Either the company will not grow, and be unable to hire workers, or the cost of doing business vis-a-vis competitors will continue to rise and eventually cause it to go out of business, which will cost jobs.

Today, free trade is just the cat’s pajamas. The folks who understand it say that keeping jobs here when they can be done cheaper overseas is silly; cheap foreign labour
