Put Americans back to work. Make us less dependent on foreign nations. Restore our industrial capacity so that we have the means to protect this great nation.
so who’s gonna run on that?
Ross Perot is now 83.
Funny, how folks who whine about losing “our” wealth never speak of their own, only that which belongs to others.
My guess is no-one. The GOPe will put up another gay promoting RINO. The gay MSM will help with that. At least until the contest comes down to the RINO vs the 'rat Liberal.
Both parties will say the words "Jobs" a lot. Neither will offer a significant plan.
I'll end up voting third party again.

AP 4 out of 5 Americans in US face near-poverty, no work [OBAMANOMICS!]
So because I'm in the 1 in 5 that has a good job, I can't complain about what's happening to the other 4 out of 5???
You can take your Alinsky censoring tactics and stick them.
And even funnier is the proposed solution: raise my taxes.
I'm rather poor right now. But I have plans to be wealthy someday, if only people like you get out of my way.
Do everything to increase Agriculture,Oil production, and Manufacturing. This are really the biggest and best ways to create wealth.
the way people talk about 3d printing and fracking it looks like 3d printing will return manufacturing to the USA while fracking will recapitalthis country.
hard to say what will actually happen.
I pay a bit extra to seek out and buy American.
Not only are these companies competing with US companies and taking our wealth to their countries, they are also stealing all the technology created/discovered here and using it against us.
I was never a protectionist bu tin light of what the communist/socialist libs are doing I’ll take it.
"Yes, there was a day when our national treasury was gladly filled by foreigners paying for the opportunity to do business on American soil. But this was when members of Congress, and those running for Office, put American interests first and would have considered the NAFTA, GATT and the WTO as acts of sedition, and would have tarred and feathered those participating in the surrender of America's sovereignty.

"The remaining revenue on the consumption of foreign articles, is paid cheerfully by those who can afford to add foreign luxuries to domestic comforts, being collected on our seaboards and frontiers only, and incorporated with the transactions of our mercantile citizens, it may be the pleasure and pride of an American to ask, what farmer, what mechanic, what laborer, ever sees a tax-gatherer of the United States?" - Thomas Jefferson-from above link

There is a point where we should use the cheap labor of foriegn countries. But it's not when our own people are sitting idle.
Again, what’s with the “our” wealth thing? If I choose to buy Heineken over Anchor Steam, why do you want to make Heineken more expensive?
I’ve explained this to you before, but you were too dense to understand: the Founding Fathers saw tariffs as a way to raise revenue for the federal government. Not to create or “save” jobs, as you are arguing on this very thread.
I’ll tell you what happened to my company. It had so much cash overseas which it couldn’t repatriate without incurring a 35% hit that it sold itself to a foreign concern, and now the cash belongs to it, no need to bring it here. I bet that happens to a lot of American companies. Import tariffs? Got a dumber idea? Those companies, like my company, sell and earn more abroad than they earn here. Let’s have a good trade war, huh?

Agreed, and it's only going to get worse.
“Our” as in the ability of our country to be secure in its technology and achievement and that it is used for our good and not someone else’s in a nothing f’ing country (most of which hate us).
Fair enough. You expect the federal government to “protect” you.
