In a television interview Friday, he argued that one of the problems with NAFTA is that the minimum wage in Mexico hasn't climbed as fast as it should.
"The theory of NAFTA had been [there would be a] gradual convergence of living standards between Mexico and the United States," he said on CNBC. "That really hasn't happened on the Mexican side. The minimum wage...has barely gone up in peso terms."
That means that employers can still find significantly cheaper labor in Mexico. It also means that Mexican workers don't have the money to buy higher-priced U.S.-made goods.
He made a similar point at his confirmation hearing. "The minimum wage in Mexico has barely changed in pesos for quite a few years. And the peso has depreciated quite a lot against the dollar," he told senators. "So on a purchasing power basis, the average Mexican worker is far worse off than he or she was five or 10 years ago. That was not the original intent of NAFTA."

Hanson: Dinosaur bones. Fossils. It wasn't Jurassic Park. But it's neat, if you go, you can hike on these trails and you can see the fossils being exposed. It's neat, it's really cool. The kids liked it. If you go to Canada, one thing that's ubiquitous in Canada, Tim Hortons. We went there for breakfast and my kids just could not get enough of the biscuits and the Timbits, which are the equivalent of Munchkins. My son has his Robinhood account now, so he's always on the lookout for stocks to buy. He said, "Can I buy Tim Hortons stock?" And I said, "Yes you can." And actually, I told him a story. A long time ago, when I was in college, I actually bought Wendy's (NASDAQ:WEN) stock on the thesis that Baja Fresh, which they owned at the time, was the next hot concept, and way better than Chipotle. Now, you fast forward a couple of years, Baja Fresh basically was worthless to Wendy's. Chipotle had gone on to be the winner in the burrito space. Obviously since reverted to the mean. But, made a lot of money on Wendy's because of Tim Horton's. They also own Tim Hortons, and Tim Hortons is growing crazy for them, they're growing all across Canada and the U.S.

Warren Buffett likes to hold his stock positions for the long run, and his experience with USG (NYSE:USG) has been typical of his other long-term investments. The Oracle of Omaha started buying shares of the manufacturer of Sheetrock drywall and other building materials back in 2000, accumulating a sizable stake that has ballooned to more than 30% of the company. USG ended up going through bankruptcy in order to get a handle on its asbestos liability claims, but thanks largely to Buffett's involvement, the building materials company not only survived bankruptcy but also saw share prices soar briefly on hopes that USG would once again fully participate in the then-strong housing boom.
