America first, while it may seem a good idea, is not a good thing in the long run,
should we be spending more money helping other countries than we spend helping
ourselves, probably not, should we stop helping everyone and only help ourselves, no,
not only is that a dangerous thing to do as it has the ability to spread the idea that
Americas are somehow better than others, but it is not compassionate and immoral.
The real problem is that we spend billions every year on things that either don't need the
money (giving Israel over a billion a year for its military) and also put more money
than needs to be put in other things.
Also, NAFTA is not a bad thing, even though people in all three member countries seem
to think so (Mexican farmers see America as using them, Canada sees themselves being
a branch-plant economy to the U.S. and Americans see Mexico as taking away tons of
jobs from Americans) in reality it has helped all three countries, and while there are some
parts of NAFTA that need to be revised or dropped, overall NAFTA has done a great deal
of good for America, Canada and Mexico, not only that but it has helped all three countries
become more integrated and created better relations.
Apart from that NAFTA is generally a good thing, as the Future does not hold an America,
Canada and Mexico, but a United North America.
