There is an unholy alliance between the left and the right. The left wants welfare spending and the right wants more military spending. The result is both sides come together in a bipartisan fashion and increase spending on both.
by the time of George W. Bush’s presidency, neoconservatives such as William Kristol were talking not just about defending America (a noble goal, obviously) but about asserting “American Empire” all over the globe. They were also quite open about not wanting to waste too much time on free markets or the rhetoric of individualism—the libertarian part of the conservative movement.
At the same time, it gently increases the pressure on any new south-of-the-border signatories to recognize the right to collective bargaining. Unions may not deserve special subsidies or regulatory privileges from government, but the days of them being stamped out by government, as was routinely the case in the United States a century ago and is sometimes still the case today in Latin America, should end.
People have a right to unionize. Just as employers have a right to fire people who unionize. Works both ways.
