What about requiring goods sold in America to have been made in countries complying with minimal regulations for worker safety and environmental responsibility? We write the sensible regs.

Further, the manufacturers cannot be government subsidized but must be authentic profit enterprises?

Finally, foreign manufacturers not just American retailers, must be legally responsible for unsafe products due to their design or construction.

What about requiring goods sold in America to have been made in countries complying with minimal regulations for worker safety and environmental responsibility? We write the sensible regs.

Well I do have a problem with this one because if we get to write some of their regs they get to write some of our regulations. this is why I rejected it for this 13 point plan I was trying to build soemthing that was coservative in nature and more regulations to impose on others is in many ways teh antithesis of consservatism.

Further, the manufacturers cannot be government subsidized but must be authentic profit enterprises?

Well the Constitutional means is to subject those subsidized foreign entities to paying tariffs as teh price of admission to our nation.

Finally, foreign manufacturers not just American retailers, must be legally responsible for unsafe products due to their design or construction

Now here we have a problem because how do we deal with an importer who buys product from a foreign manufacturer without the manufacturer locating in the USA I am not against all trade I am for a level playing field with the leg irons off the American economy. with reasonable tort reform teh importer of an inherantly dangerous product which would normally be subject to tort action would bear the responsibility for the harm done in this nation and need to indemnify those harmed.

This is my logic on these proposals.

"What about requiring goods sold in America to have been made in countries complying with minimal regulations for worker safety and environmental responsibility? "

That is a line from the democrat handbook.
