The New York Times has an article entitled U.S. Trade Pact Divides the Central Americans, With Farmers and Others Fearful. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/21/international/americas/21cafta.html
Farmers, workers, and others are fearful of CAFTA, but the kicker comes with a delightful sentence: "Some of the biggest winners are expected to be American companies who already have manufacturing plants here, like Intel, Conair, subsidiaries of Lee and Wrangler jeans, and Rawlings Sporting Goods, which makes major league baseballs in Costa Rica." -- Michael Perelman Economics Department California State University michael at ecst.csuchico.edu Chico, CA 95929 530-898-5321 fax 530-898-5901
