More on the story behind free trade

Tapsearch Com features Tapart News and Art that Talksm and Ray Tapajna Chronicles which predicted the economic crisis years ago. . It is a chronicle of Free Trade failures going back to 1956. This was the year, The U.S. Federal Government itself sponsored the moving of factories outside the country. It was supposed to be a temporary program but it never ended. It first evolved into the Maquiladora factory program in Mexico which used impoverished workers to make products for the American consumers. By 1992, there were more than 2,000 former U.S. factories in Mexico. This was prior to the passing of the NAFTA and GATT trade agreements. President Clinton and Democrat controlled Congress consumated the passing of these so called trade agreements in 1994, After NAFTA passed, the number of factories moved to Mexico doubled to more than 4,000.

Soon after, President Clinton had to rush billions of dollars to Mexico to save the peso.

President Bush told us that Mexican flocked to the USA to take jobs Americans will not do. He neglects to tell us that there are many jobs in Mexico that Mexican workers will not take. He never gets into the problem of people can not work for wage slave wages and survive in either country.
Now some of the factories in Mexico are moving to China where people will work for even less than the wage slave rates in Mexico. Even child labor is used.

The race to the bottom continues and the working poor in the USA are finding it difficult to afford even the cheaper imports at Walmart. Walmart reported that their client base is running out of money before the end of the month. Outside the U.S., the wage slave workers who make the products can not even afford to buy the things they make let alone have anything left over to buy whatever the U.S. has left to sale. It is a no win situation and it is all coming down like a house of cards.

Pass them to all who are interested in restoring the American Dream for all in the world. Free Trade and Globalization have made a mockery out of the Free Enterprise system and the democratic process. It is obvious workers have no voice in the process.

First of all free trade is not really trade and the free traders use the term protectionism but the U.S. hardly ever practiced it. The Great Depression was about money problems just like the economic crisis is today. Our economies based on making money on money instead of making things are burning out. It is nonsensical to deflate the value of workers in the USA and expect any good to come from it. Actually, the value of work and workers is a real money standard. It is real tangible value. Production workers with middle class incomes supported the needs of our society for years. Now we have a working poor class with many in places like Wal Mart needing government assistance to survive.

President Roosevelt used the Lend Lease act to ramp up industry and this coupled with World War 2 created the most awesome industrial power in the world. Lend Lease was real Free Trade with the U.S. shipping goods and food to the allies without worrying about payment. We sent goods and not jobs outside the country. After World War 2, the U.S. helped restore the Europe and Japanese economies through the Marshall Plan. The U.S. duplicated success and did not chop up our economy and send the pieces around the world as we do now. The U.S. did not have to compete in a global economic arena like this. There were many ways to duplicate the success with the Marshall Plan being a decent example of how it can be accomplished.

Free Trade and Globalization is a race to the bottom. There will always be people willing to work for less and when factories are moved from place to place, it leaves behind burn out communities everytime it happens.
The U.S. sent more than 4,000 factories to Mexico and this did not save the Mexican economy or stop the flood of Mexican workers coming to the U.S. seeking economic survival. Soon after passing NAFTA, President Clinton had to rush billions of dollars to save the peso and the Mexican economy. This was the first stimulus package and it went to a foreign nation. It just stalled the inevitable of our coming economic crisis in the USA. Free Trade and Globalization are the causes of the globa economic crisis where all in the world took a hit. Now President Obama bails out the financial community who caused the problems while ignoring the suffering of the new working poor class in the USA and the impoverished workers outside the USA.

Our economy based on making money on money instead of making things has burn out and the only way back is to restore local value added economies in balanced geopolitical settings here in the USA and around the world.
