Many realize that NAFTA — affecting the U.S., Canada and Mexico — has caused a corporate exodus to the south, robbing the U.S. of over 600,000 jobs.

But this new, lesser-known NAFTA-related scheme could possibly be even more disastrous than the trade agreement itself. Yet the media outside Indiana have generally steered clear of this international issue.

Pushing several ‘NAFTA Superhighways’ from Canada to Mexico, these special interests hope to boost large amounts of long-distance truck traffic they hope will result from the North American Free Trade Agreement. Or at least that is their excuse for building more highways after the U.S. Interstate Highway System has been declared ‘complete.’

“I couldn't think of a more disastrous project if I had to think all year,” exclaimed Randy Ghent of the Alliance for a Paving Moratorium.
