The US tax code has to be brought into order first - and yes, that is going to be very difficult. Not only politically, but a lot of the skilled workforce needed to make up a decent a manufacturing base no longer exists. The old timers are retired or dead. Now we have twenty million unemployed political science majors, but not nearly enough young machinists or tailors. Unless you want to go the Bush/Rubio route and import them from the Latin realms...

Obviously you didn’t pay attention to my saying tariffs would help while the tax code is brought into order. As far as the unemployed political science majors, they should have to take a job where their new training will give them something useful as skills. Reduce the bureaucracy and the political science majors will HAVE TO find other jobs.
I don’t happen to believe in running scared from the rest of the world. Our “few remaining allies” will be much more comfortable with a strong America than they are with the weak America Obama has produced.
We MUST get our Trade Balance in order and i don’t care how we do it. Telling m it is too late doesn’t wash with me. We were late getting into WWI and late getting into WWII but we won. It’s long past Time to get us out of the Losers aisle and back into the WINNERS aisle and we need a hardheaded winning man to do it, not just another Political popinjay.
