Not too much, advocating any particular approach.

You gotta do better than that.

Heck why don't you and I just "advocate" that all Americans be healthy and wealthy?

To "bring back American jobs" you are either going to have to start paying Americans about $5 for factory and other production work, or slap tariffs on every import, raising the price of work gloves, say, to $25, work jeans to $75 and a plain 2WD work pickup to $50 grand.

I don't know what the answer is either, although the oil industry (like portions of the info tech industry) seems to provide an example: make an essential product at a better price and the jobs and customers will take care of themselves.

I strongly support making all Americans healthy and wealthy.

I also believe strongly, we have for the last ten years been coasting and giving away American jobs, and doing nothing.

Nothing.

We must bring back US jobs, and start exporting again. That means buy American, and also means doing something with our trade laws to treat imports differently from imports.

I don’t know what exactly, but we need to change.

Now.
