Disagree, although trade policies may be less favorable, lower taxes and business regulation and Americans would do much better

Been there, done that.
All it does is create a bubble and we get stuck having to bail out the idiots who are "too big to fail."

We need trade policies that will bring our wealth creating industries back onshore without depleting the Treasury.

A revenue tariff of 10~15% on ALL imported goods would go a long way toward accomplishing that goal.
We shouldn't be importing anything from countries who don't have the same stringent environmental/safety standards that we have anyway.

Although reducing the onerous taxation and regulations imposed on American companies and American workers, this would only go part way toward leveling the playing field when 15 - 20 disposable workers can be purchased for the price of one American's salary.
