Well this is where we disagree.

You see nothing wrong with America running a one-country trade deficit with China of 300 billion dollars in 2014.

I say we have lost control, and need to bring control back to America.

You say more of the same.

I say tariffs.

So we disagree.

The momentum is increasingly on my side if this issue, however.

America cannot sell out, to China.

That cannot happen. So whatever else does, we need to bring back US jobs.

I’m sorry, but America needs jobs.

OK, explain to me how slapping a large tariff on China is going to suddenly encourage companies to bring back American jobs...

Explain to me why that DID NOT WORK when GW Bush did exatly what you proposed in the early 2000’s.

Nope, I never said that. If any I said that we need to look at our regulatory, pension, tax and labor policies.

That is NOT more of the same. That is a demand for CHANGE.
