In addition, we need to revisit "Protectionism". There's a reason it's called that--designed to protect THIS country's economic base. When imported products hit our shores with an inherent price advantage, less alegiant consumers will purchase those products simply because of price/affordability. Tax the imports and apply the collected tax to defer our unemployment payments. In addition, if a domestic manufacturer exports its mfg. to realize greater profits, apply that same tax to bring the product back into this country--only leveling the playing field for other domestic mfr's not sending jobs outside our borders. Then provide other incentives (tax abatements) for bringing that same manufacturing back here. And the next time our administration decides to give consumer incentives i.e. Cash For Clunkers, apply those incentives to products produced here (even if the manufacturer is foreign based (Toyota, Honda, Nissan, BMW,) as long as it's produced on this soil)). At the end of C.F.C., the #1 beneficiary of the program was Huyndai (Korean manufactured); the purchase dollars of every Huyndai left this country to support manufacturing in South Korea (whose population, incidentally, still blames the U.S. for the divide of the two countries--in truth they don't like us, but love our $$$). Astounding that our administration claims such vision yet proceeds with blinders. I agree wholeheartedly with Rhonda’s statement. In addition, we need to revisit “Protectionism”.

WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME TOGETHER AS A NATION AND REBUILD CONSUMER CONFIDENCE IN OUR PRODUCTS. IN TURN, MORE AMERICANS WOULD BE WORKING,PAYING TAXES AND TAKING CARE OF THEIR FAMILIES. ITS A NO BRAINER. GOOD OLD AMERICAN PRIDE IS WHAT WE ALL NEED TO GET INTO. IT COULD BE A WIN-WIN SITUATION. WHILE WE ARE AT IT, LETS REPEAL THE FREE TRADE AGREEMENTS AND ARM THE BORDERS.
