We need trade agreements to foster fair global trade, we must end cheap labor policies that out-source jobs and encourage offshore tax shelters. Trade policy must combat child and slave labor, sweatshops, environmental degradation and other practices that turn global trade into a race to the bottom.
And slow down the nuclear arms race, stop terrorism and world hunger. We have to provide food and shelter for the homeless, and oppose racial discrimination and promote civil rights, while also promoting equal rights for women. We have to encourage a return to traditional moral values. Most importantly, we have to promote general social concern and less materialism in young people.
The menu is in braille.
Hey suckers, Trump won't do to stop BigCorp from exporting factories and jobs.
If this is true...and I take anything that comes out of Trump's mouth with a huge grain of salt, it signals the beginning of an ideological change for the GOP which has always been for trade agreements whether they were 'fair' or not....
There is a fine balance. Although I agree that we have gotten the short end of a lot of trade agreements, protectionism/isolationism as expressed by Trump is impractical and unworkable in our global economy. Hopefully the compromise will be just doing better trade deals. Start slapping unilateral tariffs down and the rest of the world will respond in kind and it will turn into a huge mess.
Is he just stating common sense or is he playing a dangerous game with these proposals?Level the global playing field for American workers and manufacturers by aggressively combating trade violations. Establish and empower a new chief trade prosecutor reporting directly to the president, triple the number of trade enforcement officers, stand up to Chinese abuses, and crack down on currency manipulation that hurts American workers.
sanders and trump sound a lot alike on trade
