If you don’t think our trade deficit is a HUGE problem, you are part of the problem.
That is one of the biggest problems we have now.
Huge problem.
Both parties, are completely sold out to China.
Everyone, really.
For the entire last generation.
You do understand the trade deficit is a scewed measure yes? So if a company INVESTS capital in this country did you know that is a net export? Did you also know that farming and agriculture export millions in tons of food each year in order to derive an income? Did you also know that anyone overseas who purchases real estate to open business and employ people is also an export? Trade deficit I say again is not a measure of a nations value or wealth. Our problem isn’t the middle income jobs it’s a generation that FAILED on their own to stress importance in technology in its youth beyond a tweet. The generation has failed to keep up in times in which robotics replaces the line worker. I’m sorry but the days of assembly line and wishing for the return of thousands of jobs under a union of workers who in large part thought their jobs were lifetime positions free of innovation are over.
To restore sanity to our foreign commerce requires the restoration of sanity to the institution that ratifies commercial treaties.
To entrust such matters to a hundred or so knuckleheads with little talent beyond getting reelected is a recipe for disaster.
The 17th Amendment must go, and it won’t go without an Article V COS.
