The Neo-liberal Union

The North American zone was created with NORAD for defense and strengthened in the eighties between Reagan, Thatcher and Mulroney who brought in the neo-liberal idiocy that has ruled since. Then Mexico was swept in with NAFTA, the 'free' trade disaster that was the beginning of the current economic crisis. Free trade is another word for no-regulations or standards to protect industry or citizens. All hail the corporate masters.
