Letter: Perot was right about NAFTA’s effect on jobs

Tuesday, Feb. 10, 2004 | 9:08 a.m.

Who would have believed that Ross Perot could have been so right when, during the 1992 presidential debates, he said that if NAFTA is enacted you will hear a giant sucking sound as the American jobs and factories leave this country. One only has to look at the unemployment statistics to see how right he was.

Thanks to Lou Dobbs and his daily report on exporting American jobs, we can track the companies that care more about the "bottom line" than they do the nation that let them become the profitable companies they are today. They seem to forget that it was not Wall Street that made them a success, but the workers who turned out the products.
