"America needs to employ people.

Right here."

I'll go out on a limb here and state what many conservatives consider abhorent.

You cannot have free trade with a mercantilist country. Or a protectionist country.

We must tariff every product that comes from any country that does not have absolutely free trade themselves.

Every stinkin' one of them.

"Commodities can be tariff free, but no finished products as long as they are restricting absolutely and totally free market access to American companies.

America is currently running a MASSIVE trade deficit.

Our government could bring back US industry, as well as improve our nation’s financial picture immediately, by enacting trade barriers on countries which run big trade surpluses with America.

Tariffs would be income for our government.

American markets would be markets for factories, for goods made right here once again.

Bring back American production.

Amen!

Otherwise, it amounts to economic surrender on our part.
