High tariffs on imports. We need to be self-sufficient and make what we consume. We used to be manufacturing giants and the bread basket of the world. We don't need to exploit 3rd world labor to sell cheap crap at a Walmart and endlessly appeal to mindless mass consumerism. We were far richer as people when we weren't "consumers."
For starters lets abolish corporate profit tax.
Then follow with reduction of govt spending.
Then suspend Libby Libetter and other lawyer bonanza laws.
Cut the size of EPA by 2/3.
The only real solution would be anothe world war just like ww2,we build and fighting is "over there" it's the only true way and has been throughout histroy,build - war - and rebuild
Democrats get an F MINUS on this issue. Bill Clinton signed NAFTA and opened free trade with China, even against the warning from Ross Perot about the "giant sucking sound" of jobs leaving the country.
During the campaign, Obama pledged to reform free trade, and he bashed McCain and the Republicans for free trade (sound familiar?). But after he took office, he has only vowed to support free trade - another broken promise (sound REALLY familiar?).
