Re: Economy and Finance (none / 1)

Either that or they got NAFTA horribly wrong. But it is horribly confusing. How can a Spanish speaking nation whose genetic heritage is predominantly from indigenous people be part of North America? Even Rosper Roe said it sucks! You know, the giant sucking sound.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
