And how would one correct our trade policy without cutting our wrists? Lousy trade policy or quite possibly the best deal to ensure the collective security of ourselves and ungrateful allies. The correction in Oil will be the saving factor. The raw deal from OPEC and 9/11, coupled with the France/German/Russian pressure has had a profound affect; yet, today Bush is ready to address an UN body that knows it failed in its gambit to neuter the US militarily through economic suversion. We have weathered the storm caused by many factors competing in concert to harm us but have prevailed. Trust in Republican policy over the long run; it has never failed us, nor that of military-industrial-complex - yes, we have been through a difficult period but those with us will do better than those against us.

I like harpseal's list of ideas posted here (and on his profile page):
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/984169/posts?page=337#337

FYI, historically, the Republican Party platform included a strong support of protective tariffs; just as the first 200 years of our nation's history included the use of protective tariffs. I'm sure tariffs can be misapplied, but as they are only 2 of the 13 ideas on harpseal's list, they are only a small part of the answer. A level playing field is the goal.

The trade policy is a RAW deal for all but the top 15 to 20% of wealthiest Americans. As for the correction in oil, that will only go so far, despite what the WSJ may say.

"Trust in the Republican policy".

The Republican policy is the same as the Democrats policy....to give tax breaks to corporations for moving jobs offshore.


Bush is a sellout.
