McCain Video: NAFTA Has Created 'Millions' of Jobs

Straight-faced, looking straight into the camera, GOP presidential candidate John McCain tells Midwestern working – and out-of-work -- families that, "I know NAFTA was a good idea. It's created millions of jobs."

Actually, the controversial trade agreement has cost the United States more than 1 million good manufacturing jobs, according to the Economic Policy Institute and the AFL-CIO.

You can see it yourself and the rest of McCain's homage to the North American Free Trade Agreement on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86QwI-6TWic.

The AFL-CIO is keeping track of McCain's record on trade and other issues in which he's consistently voted against the interests of workers and struggling American families. A webpage about his record will be online soon and updated regularly.
