OK, let's say I'm looking at these deficits and think. "Boy these deficits are worse than a Mardi Gras bar tab!" Now what exactly is a US President supposed to do that doesn't A) Restrict foreign and domestic trade. B) Raise the prices paid by consumers for all of these companies' goods and services. and C) Abridge the rights of Free Speech and Free Association as enumerated in The Bill of Rights of The US Constitution?

Free trade? While other countries impose larger tariffs on American products, our elected officials just bend over like Barney Frank.

Bill of Rights won’t mean much when Beijing calls the shots.

"....what is the President supposed to do...?

Take a good hard look at OPIC.

Why is El Presedente' Jorge Bush continuing the Clinton policies of outsourcing jobs? Why is he offering big bisuness huge tax incentives to move jobs offshore? Why not offer huge tax incentives to employ more americans here at home? Why did King Jorge sign onto the L1 visa program, wasn't the H1-B visa program a big enough screwing for the American workers?

You don't have to look very long or very hard to see that our fearless leader cares more about workers in China, India and Mexico, than he does about Americans.

He could start by slapping a hefty tariff on IT offshore outsourcing - just like on other goods & products brought into the US from other countries. The realities of our current political situation tell me that I can wish in one hand and crap in the other and see which one gets full first, if I think that this has any chance of happening.
