Hello Congressman Hunter. Thank you for your service and the service of other members of your family.

I heard you on Michael Medved’s show last week and it sounded like you have a special concern about keeping jobs and certain manufacturing fields in America. How do you propose to do that outside of protectionist tariffs and other measures that backfired during FDR’s years?

This was my question too. Smoot-Hartley tarrifs and other protectionist policies were a disaster! Free trade boosts American jobs.

Bookmarked, but I’m pretty sure its thru restructuring our tax system to give incentive for manufacturer’s to stay here. As well as putting the thumb screws on China.
