The results of our current trade policy are in and they are an epic failure. Look at Detroit, which has been completely deindustrialized and look at Shanghai which has been completely built up at the expense of the American workers. But with respect to the price of goods, keep in mind, when we ship all these jobs overseas, it drives down wages in America, it drives down the standard of living. And so the real cost of goods goes up. By comparison, if you bring these jobs back to America, you create good paying, middle-class, manufacturing jobs and incomes go up, the real price of goods goes down. So, you’re really not saving anybody any money by sending our entire middle class overseas.”

Has Trump found an American manufacturer for his Chinese-made clothing line yet?

Cruz will have to pay back Goldman Sachs somehow. The Trade America crowd will be happy.

A vote for Trump is a vote for higher prices at every store, a vote for socialized medicine, and a vote for taking land from private citizens for another private citizen’s benefit via eminent domain.

Both parties have been selling out America now for over one entire generation.

Both parties.

Democrats are for the exporting of American jobs, because whenever America loses jobs, it helps democrats gain power.

Republicans are for the exporting of American jobs, because whenever America loses jobs, it doesn’t mean a thing to them, then just export the stuff to sell.

There is an entire huge segment of America who NOBODY is looking out for. Nobody.

Except now, this year. Trump has said he would. I have been waiting for YEARS to hear someone, anyone say the things which Trump is saying.

I cannot swear he is telling the truth, but nobody else is saying what he is saying, and he sure sounds like he means it.

Trump for President.

For real.

Detroit is in shambles, because it produced a terrible work product and let Unions force GM and others to pay a low skilled assembly line worker, as much as a medical doctor. Imposing huge tariffs on imported goods, may let a few auto workers go back to the days of getting huge paychecks for repetitive manual labor, but the rest of us would see the prices of everything from cars, to cell phones go through the roof. And that is before other countries retaliate with their own tariffs. These people that believe Trump can simply enact extreme protectionist policies without effecting prices or our ability to export goods are amazing. Standing up to countries that block American imports is one thing. Using the police power of the state to punish free Americans who open up a factory in another country is another. A vote for Trump is a vote for two things. 1. Hillary and 2. Insanity.

Ted’s against outsourcing!

(Unless it’s for the job of POTUS, and then he thinks a Canadian can do it better)
