A manufacturing czar won't do much. We are not a czarist economy.

It is the President's job to see to it that there is fair trade. Almost all recent presidents have done poorly on this one. Despite his extreme socialist leanings, the only special session Clinton called as president was to pass NAFTA.

I think "free trade" is one of these things that looks good on paper but in reality just isn't working.If we were to demand free and EQUAL trade that would be different.In other words if a country has a tarrif on American goods we should have the same tarrif on thier products.If a nation engages in economic sabbotage as Japan did in the 70s and China is doing now we should cut off our trade relationship until it is made equitable.
