I'll spare you the tenets of efficient market theory; let's just say that CAFTA probably ain't leading to anything better than NAFTA ever did... and see how nicely *that* turned out?
Oh, look - Mexico's middle class is disappearing at an alarming rate and they've fallen short about 5%/annum on Vincente Fox's promised GDP growth! Ah! Great news!

This bill should've gone down, and easily at that; is/was the net result of NAFTA not demonstrative enough for the ignoramuses that voted Aye? I guess policy still follows party... *sigh* GOP election-money-grubbing pukes convinced just enough (R)s that they'd never see another dime of support unless they voted in favor of the retarded bill, I guess.
Thumbs up to the (R)s that saw right through this shitty policy and voted Nay... and the (D)s that voted Aye can go suck an egg. What's up with the 3 Texas (D)s that went down like cheap hookers?

The 217-215 vote comes as no big surprise right now. I'm a little tweaked that I'm unable to find the vote results on Thomas at the moment.
At least we know, according to msnbc, that the protections afforded to the U.S. sugar industry are undisturbed.
Bow down before your corporate overlords, peeps!

Oh, goodie! I'm glad those two or three ultra-millionaire sugarbeet families are gonna stay on the dole... perish the thought that they'd have to actually *compete* for a buck. =\

Glad to see, that contacting Oregon's David Wu probably helped keep his name of that list. Too bad it got the votes =(
I get plenty of feed back from his office, almost always positive =)
