Bob Wise: “I believe that those who negotiate these treaties for the most part are operating in good faith, I believe are operating…”

“I believe that those who negotiate these treaties for the most part are operating in good faith, I believe are operating in good faith. I think they honestly believe that the marketplace, if left alone, totally alone, will produce the greatest justice for the greatest good. I do not think it always works that way, and I do not think that the human, the human content, the human problems and the human ramifications are taken into consideration adequately enough. I have not seen too many NAFTA proponents come out in the last 2 years to talk about all of the good that NAFTA was to do. I have not seen anyone stand in the well, as you two gentlemen are standing right now, and tick off goals announced when NAFTA was put forward, goals achieved. If my colleagues remember, the goal was that our trade surplus would at least be the same, if not greater. Of course we are billions of dollars in the red in trade deficits.”
