"Made in America" is a very strong message.

44. What we had when my job and millions of others were shipped out of the country was free trade

Here is an example of fair trade?

Keep in mind I said fair trade not free trade just so there is no confusion later on.

This has been my consistent position of fair trade since forever and I have posted it on DU2 before.

Here is the way it works. Any country in the world can send as many ships full of their manufactured goods they want to here. With one caveat. After that ship is offloaded here it does not go back to the country of origin empty. It gets filled up with goods that have been manufactured here in the US by our workers and worth an equal amount of money. And they can do that as many times as they want to.

Now if the other country doesn't really want our goods being sold in their stores and competing with the products their own workers are manufacturing that is fine too. They can dump it all in the ocean on their way back home for all I care. But they are still paying for that shipment of our manufactured goods regardless of what they do with it.

Now doesn't that sound like fair trade? That is what I would call being on a level playing field.

I hope this isn't over your your head. But I think it may be.
