See the link to the chart for the results of trade with Mexico. The year NAFTA was ratified, America had a $1 billion trade surplus with Mexico. By 1995, America had a $16 billion trade deficit with Mexico. Today, America’s trade deficit with Mexico is $74 billion. The facts in the chart make President Clinton, Vice President Gore and all the newspaper editors who wrote editorials supporting NAFTA look like complete idiots or worse. Ross Perot was absolutely right even though he was not effective in the debate. Again, no matter what your views are on NAFTA, the chart (link below) speaks for itself.
Also, this video is significant because it documents how NAFTA was sold to America by its elected leaders. In hindsight, some of the most ridiculous statements I heard from the debate was from Vice President Al Gore:
1) “They [GM] have started to move jobs back from Mexico to the United States.”
2) “If he [Ross Perot] is right, then you give six months notice and you’re out of it [NAFTA].”
Lessons learned: Any time your government tries to sell you on a free trade deal with another country that has disparate living and environmental standards, don’t believe it. President Bill Clinton also made similar claims about free trade with Communist China when he signed a free trade agreement with that country in 1999. Today, the US has lost countless jobs to Communist China and suffers a staggering and unsustainable $250 billion annual trade deficit with that country.

Chart: 20 Years of Trade With Mexico. Note how the US trade surplus with Mexico turned into large deficits soon after NAFTA was ratified in 1993.

Collective Genius http://www.collective-genius.com
Welcome to Collective Genius
There are not enough experienced Business Analysts for the number of projects that need them. Our Mission at Collective Genius is to address the shortage of skilled Business Analysts by working with the organizations that are most passionate about business analysis, by developing business analysis centers of excellence, and providing ongoing knowledge sharing and business analysis talent.
Collective Genius is a Business and Information Technology Consulting Organization focused solely in the area Business Analysis, Business Systems Analysis, and Business Process Analysis. Being very niche and passionate we have created an organization that attracts top talent for our clients and provides ongoing advocacy and education for our local Business Analysis Communities.
We develop and maintain business analysis centers of excellence for organizations and we support organizations’ needs with the right business analysis talent including direct placement, contract to hire, and consultants.
Our success in attracting great talent is largely due to the fact Business Analysts appreciate that we focus solely in their profession and know them best. This is very different than the magnitude of generalist consulting/staffing organizations that try to do everything for everyone. Being niche, we have had the opportunity to become experts in the field and designed our organization, processes, and tools specifically for the Business Analyst.
As an advocate to the role of the Business Analyst, in 2006 Collective Genius developed the first online Community of Business Analysts called the BA Collective. The BA Collective is a gathering place for like-minded professionals dedicated to the practice of business analysis. This is a place for industry professionals to learn about developing trends and share their own thoughts and experiences with the community.
The reason we developed The BA Collective is to unite a community of Business Analysts and provide a place where we can all share experiences and continually evolve our knowledge within our roles throughout our careers.
Our mission in parallel with Collective Genius and the BA Collective is to bridge the gap between the need for professional and experienced Business Analysts and the projects that need them. We hope with your support of Collective Genius and the BA Collective, together we will continue to accomplish this mission.

Thank you for visiting Collective Genius.
