I'm concerned that big government is ruining our economy.

So am I. It goes far beyond the Free Trade issue too. Obama has done just about everything he can to destroy jobs. He killed the pipeline to Canada. He has devistated the coal industry. On and on it goes, with this guy playing the lead role in Dumb and Dumber, the White House years.

Wow! It's like you suddenly sobered up.

I admit 20 million illegals is a huge problem. Deport them now. Build a wall. And then cut corporate taxes and idiotic regulations, especially Obamacare, and watch jobs grow.

I believe that would help. It certainly wouldn't hurt.

As for the Free Trade part of it, I want to support Free Trade as much as I can. The problem is, we have massive problems right now. Incentivise companies to employ people in the United States.

There you go again, suddenly making sense.

And yet, the government can't see any reason to help entice jobs back here. If a nation is going to effectively charge us 30-40% tariffs on our goods going into their nation, then cut them off. Tell them to change it, or else.

I have no problem calling them a "currency manipulator". Although the idea that paying more for imports and selling your exports at a discount is the route to prosperity is difficult for me to wrap my head around.

I would rather pay a bit more for the goods I buy, if it's going to put the Johnson family down the street back on the payroll. They will be making income. They will be spending in the community.

That is an excellent idea. How do we do it?

You missed some brown stuff behind your left ear.

There you go finally grasping the material presented.

Perhaps you can show me where I suggested we pay more for imports.  This infers I supported tariffs, which I didn't do.

We incentivise the corporations and companies to employ people here.  We do so because it could cut government outlays, and improve government revenues to do it.

We have discussed the issue at length on this thread.
