“The Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) will spread freedom, liberty and democracy to all the peoples of the Americas.”

It's one more Big Lie. The continuation of NAFTA and the WTO and the contuous Exporting of America will eventually make America closer to being like Venazuala and many other South American countries. Two Classes: The Rich and All Others.
Sounds about normal. Should be noted that every country that has a FTA with the US has suffered because of it. In Oz, our pharmaceutical benefits scheme, which keeps the price of medicines within the reach of everyone, is the target of current negotiations. They want to turn us into the US, where only the wealthy can afford to get sick.
