[Vision2020] When Will "FREE" TRADERS be held accountable?

[Thomas Hansen]

Isn't the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) synonymous with
President George W. Bush Sr.?

I am certainly happy to see that the Bush family is taking care of
everything.

Tim, it's time to wake-up and smell the coffee. We *are* in a global economy
whether we like it or not. It's not that these councils have *created* a
global economy. 

See Alvin Toffler's "The Third Wave" -- we've moved on from the old
industrialized period into something new (whatever you want to call it). 

Unless you want to turn off the internet, you cannot keep outsourceable
labor from shifting from expensive areas (e.g., the USA) to lesser expensive
areas (e.g., India, Pakistan). In one respect, we've priced ourselves out of
the general labor pool -- at least labor that can be outsourced via the web
(e.g., tech jobs). 

Best,
