Ross Perot was right.

He has interesting perspectives. He was right about government jobs exceeded manufacturing jobs. He said it will lead to bad things.

If you never traveled south of the border, you might not know what Perot was talking about. If you traveled there to visit a tourist mecca, you still might not know. No, you have to get off the beaten track to understand his point. You have to visit Tijuana, that's just on the other side of the border from San Diego. Go past the tourist traps. Or sail into the harbor at Ensenada, not on a tourist ship where you're protected from the sights and smells and deposited in tourist buses that only take you to the best places, the enclaves set aside to coax you out of a dollar or two. It's a different world where basic survival comes cheap. Don't go alone and don't go at night. Life also is cheap. I remember sailing with a boat load of teenagers into Ensenada. As we motored to the moorings one young boy simply stared at the water and I heard him mutter, "If I fall in, don't save me." A young Mexican lad in a skiff with an outboard motor guided us to a buoy with a rope hanging in the water. He handed it up for us to slip over a cleat. None of the kids would touch it. Yes, the water really was that foul. Mexico would love to replicate America's wealth and it will do anything to attract business. Environment be damned. People be damned. Just keep the bribes flowing and you too can have cheap labor and little if any regulation. Meanwhile, what little they can profit in America is taxed to pay for bureaucracies that sap the lifeblood of America like leaches. Yes, Perot was right. When NAFTA was passed, there was a giant sucking sound and the bureaucrats and politicians in the District of Calamity have been hiding the results behind altered unemployment data.

He was right, but was solely responsible for the rise of the Clinton's.
