All in all, free trade where America trades freely with other like minded democracies has been a fantastic boon for this country. I know personally that 60-70% of the goods on our shop floor are for export.

The American public sees the problem with one-sided free trade. That is where we have opened our markets to foreign countries (principally in Asia) who in turn have closed their markets by currency manipulations or a variety of tariff and non-tariff barriers.

The Republicans ignore this at their peril.

Same with a company I used to work for...Made products for Mexico and China who used our parts to put into gadgets that were shipped back here...

My company finally realized their profit margin would jump if they moved our manufacturing to Mexico and China...

Good luck to ya...
