Oh okay...

Duncan Hunter

On the House Armed Services Committee, Hunter has protected U.S. defense jobs in aircraft, ship repair, machine tools, textile, steel and titanium to ensure that what he calls the “Arsenal of Democracy,” the U.S. industrial base, is maintained to provide security in time of war. Unfortunately, in his quest for greater defense spending, Rep. Hunter often votes for increased spending across all government programs.

From his Website

“American workers are the most productive and innovative labor force in the world. Unfortunately, they are asked to compete in an unfair environment against other workers who make only a fraction of a living wage and are employed by companies that face few, if any, responsibilities to the environment or the long-term prospects of their employees. Our domestic manufacturers are forced to compete against foreign companies that benefit from their country’s currency and regulatory regimes. Ominously, China is cheating on trade and using billions of American trade dollars to build ships, planes and missiles at an alarming rate while, at the same time, taking millions of American jobs. I will reverse this “one-way street” with a new policy of fair trade for the American worker

Blah, blah, China cheats, 'fair wage', ensure US industrial base...Cry me a river. You can put lipstick on it, but it's still a pig. It is protectionist nonsense. Same sentiment, different (but not by much) words. The same crap spouted by Hamilton and his lackeys in the 19th century still smells like crap today.
