we were going over international trade in AP Economics the other day, and my teacher commented that even thought it's called the North American Free Trade Agreement, it's basically the antithesis of free trade. What gives?

What gives? | It isn't exactly the antithesis of free trade, it sets out the rules of tariffs and whatnot. "Free" in a sense of you are free to work within the rules. I hate it when words are used incorrectly like that, word theory is a hobby/obsession of mine.

| | Notes we play > Gear we play them on | | Join Date: Sep 2000 Location: Wisconsin | | | You have your acronym wrong. It's actually a recursive acronym, because the the "N" stands for "NAFTA". Much like how the "N" in "NASCAR" stands for "NASCAR".
It stands for:
NAFTA
Apparently
****s
The
Auto Industry
Scathing political commentary or the best I can come up with right before bed? You make the call! |

We will immediately pull the USAs first right of refusal for all of our oil off the table. I would love to see it gotten rid of, or at least changed a bunch. Although it has done some good, we should have just stuck with the old one and left Mexico out of it.

And yet you clearly missed the meanings of both the following words:
1. No.
2. Politics.
