Elimination of U.S. Pilot Truck Program Triggers Mexican Tariffs

Why should we extend the Bush pilot demonstration project that the Bush DOT said in its post-year review of the program is lacking key quality control measures to assure that every participating truck and driver is checked every time it crosses the border into the US?

There is no violation of the "letter of the law" of NAFTA that I am aware of... despite Mexico's claim...perhaps in the "spirit of the law" in which case Mexico is no shining example.

I would like to see Obama bring Mexico and Canada to the table to renegotiate NAFTA...but that's not likely to happen.

So we'll deal with these little flare ups and disagreements instead on a case by case basis.
