Import tariffs would make products manufactured in foreign countries more expensive here in the U.S., but that doesn't necessarily mean companies are going to move their operations here to the U.S. In fact, recent trends indicate that import tariffs would be pretty pointless. Even sales at Wal-Mart are down, which means more and more Americans can't even afford the imported crap anyway. Basically, Wal-Mart is losing its business to yard sales and flea markets.

I'm not sure what you mean by "help" in your question. What's the problem you're looking to address? The $17.5T debt? Unemployment in the U.S.? Improving our standard of living? I only ask this because the answer may be different depending on what exactly the problem is.

You nailed it.

I am concerned with our rapidly-increasing foreign debt, and I am concerned with American unemployment.

Those two are big considerations.

I see both our national parties, working in exactly the wrong direction on both of those very important issues.

Both parties. Both parties are sending US jobs overseas, and both parties are importing more all the time.

One or the other of our two national parties needs to be for American workers.

I want the GOP to stand up and rebuild our own country. I do not want it to be democrats who stand up for Americans.

GOP get with it.

Hire Americans.

Or we may have to replace you. The Tea Party would be an effective replacement, if they will support working Americans.

It would be simpler however, if the GOP itself, were to stop offshoring jobs.

We have been destroying our own country for an entire generation.

We need to build up America once again.

I would welcome to hear your thoughts. This is a very serious issue we are facing.

It is getting worse, every single day.

We need to change.
