The Wrong Way

 So last week the auto bailout failed because of a few Southern Republicans. Strange as it seems, these silly people would rather give 700 billion dollars to groups that really produce nothing than give a few billion to companies that actually produce something. We've lost our steel industry, clothing industry, and most of out consumer appliance industry. the list if manufacturing industries left in the US continues to dwindle. There are very few manufacturing industry's left in our country. 

So what's wrong with this? Our congress and presidents have allowed us to be vulnerable to the whims of foreign governments that have an agenda of protecting their own industries at the expense of ours through the ruse of free trade. While we allow these foreign countries to export goods to the US without any strings attached these countries (such as China, Japan,) put restrictions on our exports. 

We need to protect our industries and the workers in those industries. We need to equalize labor coast by adding tariffs to the imports. If we allow all of these industries to disappear when time of war or pestilence come we'll have no manufacturing base to build to protect us. What does it matter if we have to pay another $2,000 for a Mazda, or Toyota. WE NEED TO PROTECT U.S. WORKERS. We need to make sure our workers have jobs. We need to make sure we have a strong manufacturing base for the good of our country.
