Alright, lest I be accused of only complaining, without ever saying how we can fix this huge mess:
A proposal for dealing with China, and world trade.
(I know there are those of you who are so strongly on the “free trade” side of things, this won’t be accepted in your view of the world. For those of you, I only ask you to think about things)
America as a country needs to look out for trade. For an entire generation, we have been selling off America’s trade assets. Many of those, went to China.
Unfortunately, now China is growing. China now exports more than America, and is rapidly advancing technologically. Their military is also rapidly improving. All the trade balance does, is weaken America (and further grow China’s significant military power)
America in my opinion, needs to stop this. We need to grow, and we need to compete. As a nation, against other nations like China.
My idea is a universal, global, import tariff.
On everything imported.
Everything. One single tariff. No exceptions. No goods singled out. Nothing excluded.
Whatever we as a nation decide we need as an import tariff, we need to charge everything being imported to America.
Oil. Food. Manufactured goods. Everything is charged one import tariff, if it wasn’t originally from America.
This will stop the current situation, of America constantly losing jobs.
What that percentage is, is a completely different discussion, and I won’t even raise that issue now.
But America we are hurting. America is hurting.
We need jobs.
China is much much larger than us and it is unreasonable to think the Chinese economy can not grow to exceed all others.
We are able to do business on a two way basis with China. There are uncountable American jobs steming from American exports.
Trade, not isolation, makes the world go round
It is not Ol' Mao's world any more
