- ones_and_zeros 10y agoEh, Bill Clinton passed NAFTA with a smile on his face. He should have demanded: - 12 months family leave - shorter work days - mandatory 6 weeks vacation - universal health - etc And then negotiate from there. But he didn't and the democrats in power at the time didn't. They were too busy patting themselves on the back for figuring out that cozying up to corporate America would allow them to compete with the Republicans.
