37. The only way to create more jobs
would be to repeal NAFTA and impose huge tariffs on all non essential goods. This would only hurt for a short period but at least it would give us a new start. Jump start the economy with massive public works projects using american made supplies until manufacturing and agriculture has returned to normal growth rate. Made in USA use to mean quality, our steel was second to none and our drywall never made anyone sick. Our dog food didn't kill our pets and our toys weren't covered in lead. Those corporations made money before NAFTA and survived for many years. After NAFTA, the cost of everything has steadily increased along with lavish CEO's pay and huge corporate profits. They used the export card in order to "level" the playing Field in order to push these greedy corporate trade deals through. Well it turns out, all we exported was our jobs.
Until America wakes up and unites to take back Washington, it will only get worse.
we must hold those traitors accountable for trade deals that even a 6 yr old could have done better at.
The sucking sound is over....along with our prosperity...and our jobs.
