Trade has been used to destroy the US industrial base while making Wall Street rich and the Republicans Party facilitated that.
Right now they are trying to pass a huge H-1B bill allowing 150,000 Indians into the USA ( Fairness to immigrants Act, what a joke ) by unanimous consent. None of them are stopping that.
The Republican Party used to be the party of the tariff and NEEDS TO RETURN TO THAT ASAP. They need stop being the Free Traitor™ party.
So? Not all trade is bad.
Some has been, especially that with China.
In addition, some trade has been very good.
Trade in our agricultural products has been very good for the U.S.
I have no problems with Wall Street becoming rich (my investment in my 401K type fund benefit me) as long as the long term interests of the United States are put first.
My 401K type fund does me no good if the U.S. is destroyed.
