Answer:

I think trade agreements like NAFTA are bad ideas. We can't always know the outcome of our decisions so, sometimes it's better safe than sorry especially when there's a lot on the line like NAFTA. NAFTA was a lousy deal that caused 2 million losses of jobs in the agriculture industry and it gave more wealth to Canada and Mexico. That's why it's better safe than sorry sometimes when it comes to our economy.

Answer:

NAFTA had its pros and cons, but I think it helped Texas. NAFTA created about 5.4 million jobs. It also lowered prices. U.S. imports from Mexico cost less because NAFTA got rid of tariffs. Low cost oil reduces gas prices, which reduces transportations cost. Overall, I think that trade agreements like NAFTA most likely helped Texas.
