Your caveat, nb, undermines his remedies, which remedy(ies) he doesn’t name.
You correctly cite government as the problem. CNN cites government and more of it as the solution.
I think it is time for the government, in the following way:
I support an across-the-board 10% tariff.
Now don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying the government should pick and choose. Far from it.
I am saying EVERYTHING brought into America to sell, is assessed a 10% tariff.
I mean everything. Oil. (just imported, no tariff on American oil)
Food. (just imported, no tariff on American food)
And everything manufactured. Everything.
10%.
That is not a lot, but I believe that getting all products lumped into “produced in America” vs. imported, points out an ever more important difference.
America needs to produce/grow/drill out of the ground right here in America, what we use.
Not import it.
For an entire generation we have been selling off America.
Bring it back. Now.
