it's clear that when superhighway trade corridors were
designated as high priority corridors in 1995, the members
of Congress were under the impression that the new
transportation system would facilitate exports from the U.S.

This diagram is from a
presentation by the North American SuperCorridor Coalition
(NASCO)2. You can see that they are still

attributing who is making all the money as represented by
the statistics.

| For a
true picture of what 'Free Trade' has done to our economy,
you have to look at charts of the trade deficit. The
trade deficit is the difference between the amount we import
versus the amount we export.

money no matter which way goods flow.
The BIG LIE is that the
United States is the richest nation in the world. The
BIG TRUTH is that the United States is biggest debtor in the
world.

George Bush named Islamic
Fundamentalists as the enemy and said that they want to bomb
us back to the Stone Age. The second part of that
statement is true - the label given enemy is largely
symbolic.
