After NAFTA passed I remember driving around with a STOP CHINESE IMPORTS bumper sticker on my car.  People looked at me and said huh?  Did you really need to be a "Hahvard" educated economist to understand that if you exported jobs and were bringing in tens of millions of unskilled workers that there would be a problem?  Import people.  Export jobs.  How was that ever going to work out?  Ross Perot changed the course of history by essentially allowing Clinton to win.  His primary message was about the "giant sucking sound" we would hear once NAFTA was passed.  Was he wrong?  "Free" trade was a gift to the very rich and paid for on the backs of the middle class.  The democrat party stopped giving a damn about working people in this country a generation ago.  Between the two parties, until Trump came along, there isn't a dime's worth of difference between the two.
