Now I want to remove all trade restrictions with China? Jeepers, where do you guys come up with this stuff?

If the stated policy aim is to save jobs and increase domestic manufacturing, then cut taxes across the board. Don't expect some government bureaucrat to choose which of your taxes he needs to raise, and which industry he wants to favor over another. Which is all tariffs do . . . even protectionists admit to as much.

It seems like you are a free trader so of course you are for removing all trade restrictions against china. Funny that the U.S. was rising rapidly when we had a total trade embargo against China and the U.S. decline began with Clinton's free trade agreement with China .either you are for your free trade and therefore removing all trade restrictions or you are not. If you are for free trade then you also have to be for removing all immigration restrictions, you can't cherry pick what economic protections you want, you either have to be for removing all restrictions( open border) or not. Surely you don't want to deprive all the U.S. companies and Americans the freedom to import foreign workers who want to provide such cheap labor and services to Americans.

Yes we need to reduce taxes and regulations against all businesses but 2 wrongs don't make a right. We also need tariffs and more trade restriction against China. I am for a return to the full trade embargo against China. what can't we make here that is made in China. This is what your free trade created at our expense , in China:

For the past 30 years China has averaged 10% growth per year. China's economy is 19 times the size it was 30 years ago.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_the_People%27s_Republic_of_China

The U.S.A has just exploding debt, 16 trillion $ in federal debt, 116 trillion $ in unfunded liabilities, declining cities .

History has proved that the U.S. was rising for 200 years with high tariffs and rising for 40 years when a trade embargo was on china. So your free trade is insane.And you 1rudeboy condescendingly ridicule us all that want to change this insane economic policy and do to china what china has done to us. You are the one that is crazy and wrong because you want to keep up the same economic policies that are now destroying this country, the USA.
