If we are to make America great again, we must do all we can to make sure that American interests are protected and that all Americans benefit from the actions of their government. Sadly, that is currently not the case. The incompetent, rudderless Obama administration’s negligence in foreign policy, trade and national security is making America less confident, less prosperous and less safe. Americans deserve better, and a Trump administration will turn us into winners again.
In late September, President Obama signed an agreement with the Chinese head of state that was intended to add a layer of protection to intellectual property in both countries. The ink was not dry before Chinese-sponsored agents began cyberattacks on private companies in the U.S. That agreement is not worth the paper it is printed on and the Obama administration is not doing a thing to fight back. Unfortunately, this has become an all-too-common pattern of behavior for President Obama.
The American people need to be told the truth about our “partner†China. China holds over $1.4 trillion in U.S. debt. The Chinese are, by far, the largest foreign debt holder. As of the end of August this year, the U.S. trade imbalance with China is already at $237 billion, on the way to an annual trade imbalance north of $350 billion. China’s economy is controlled by the government. Any notion that their economy is based on a free-market system is simply not true. If an American company wants access to the Chinese consumers, that company must share its intellectual property, a condition that violates international fair-trade standards, World Trade Organization rules and common sense.

I cannot begin to understand the current mentality of corporate America. I know that today most wealth is in the hands of left wingers. That has to be part of it. If you look at this years Forbes 400, the top of the top billionaires are ALL leftists. Mostly techies. I could only find 2 conservatives.
Do you have any idea what an uproar there would be if there were only two Leftists on that list, and 90% Conservative professors in our nation?
Man, is that ever an interesting one!
= :^)
I was reading that same chapter/annex last night and I couldn't find any restrictions. Yeah it's ripe to be abused.
I can see it now at border control under Obama.
Border control: state your business?
Foreign traveler: I'm here to sell my hair and bodily fluids!
Border control: Nice. Here is your expedited 10 year business visa! Good luck in your business and travels inside the United States.
Foreign traveler: Where is the closest ObamaCare and EBT offices?
Border control: Take a left after two doors down the hall.
Foreign traveler: Yippeeeee...
EXACTLY
Well, that's polite.
Reminds me of another butthole person we have around here.
