Palin isn’t a protectionist. Her route to balanced trade is the removal of the burdens on American industry, not some ‘shoot-yourself-in-the-foot’ tariff.

The trade deficit is not the cause of our economic malaise. Protectionism will only make matters worse.

I don’t really understand why we need to penalize any country who sells goods here.

If you notice just about every company is making their products in China. There are Americans who do nothing but arrange these business relationships with the Chinese.

And why do they do this? BECAUSE IT’S CHEAPER TO MAKE THE PRODUCTS THERE IN CHINA THAN HERE.....DUH!!!!

So what would it take to make the same products here cheaper? Reduce the cost to companies. Give them tax breaks...hell have them pay next to no tax...reduce their regulations etc.

I bet you’d have jobs galore, and tons of vacant warehouses and industries thriving again.

The U.S. economy would likely be $1.5 trillion larger today but for the trade deficits on oil and with Asia over the last 10 years.

Maybe so. But the problem is that government would've spent whatever money that 1.5 trill would have brought in to The Treasury.

And then some.

How does Germany maintain a trade surplus with China without making their citizens live on a bowl of rice and work at 14 as our union folks claim we would have to?

Remember that Trump had those easy sounding solutions, without credible details it’s all just smoke.

Here’s a start, dont sue companies like Boeing for opening up new plants in the USA.

I must be missing where President Palin comes into this article. Sounds more like Trump.

In fact, I believe Duncan Hunter was saying this a few years ago.
