Clifford Winston of the Brookings Institution found that the import limits have actually cost jobs in the U.S. auto industry by making it possible for the sheltered American automakers to raise prices and limit production. In 1984, Winston writes in Blind Intersection? Policy and the Automobile Industry, 32,000 jobs were lost, U.S. production fell by 300,000 units

Higher prices, fewer jobs, lower production. Still trying to figure out why you think this is a victory.

Are you serious? Posting a 1984 article by a globalist (Brookings Inst.) as evidence of your wacky support for exporting U.S. jobs? Sheesh. The cows are already out of the barn on this one.

Its time to end the TRADE SURRENDER.
