Bush was granted fast track trade negotiating authority. HIS party controls the house and senate and HE can set whatever agenda he wants HIS party to follow. This president has more power to affect meaningful change than just about every other president in our history.

Reduce government spending, eliminate restrictive regulations on corporations, cap settlements, etc. He can also impose a tariff on China until they allow their currently to be valued by the market instead of by the communist party. For India he can impose a flat tariff across the board on labor until we can reduce the gulf between economies. We would then be collecting a substitute tax for all the tax revenue we are losing by offshoring and would be leveling the playing field for laborers at the same time.

Once government spending has been fixed and the cost of doing business in the US has been reduced we can gradually lift the tariffs. The only reason companies offshore is to reduce their operating costs, government could easily reduce their costs through legislation.

Here's a better idea. Why don't American's quit buying Chinese goods? If the demand were to plummet, the problem would fix itself.

Face it, America wants cheap goods. That's not the President's fault.
