I hope they are paying attention because. under NAFTA. they are going to vote for increasing taxes on their constituents. this time to support the Mexican economy. The financing mechanism of NAFTA is perhaps its greatest mystery. I cannot even begin to tell my colleagues how we are going to financially pay for this agreement. and I fear that we will pay for it in other ways such as no protections against the diversion of Great Lakes water. no protections to stop the flood of illegal immigration. and no incentives to help the American manufacturing base which will be devastated under NAFTA. None of these protections are in the agreement. None of those protections are part of all the backroom deals that are going on. in all honesty. with all the wheeling and dealing and with all the side deals.
