Problem IMO is this "free trade" as it is called. Free trade? My butt. We are being dumped on and dumped on and dumped on.

My view of free trade is dollar for dollar. Want to dump 10 million dollars of Taiwanese junk here in the US? Then Taiwan needs to take 10 million dollars worth of US made goods - even Steven.

Furthermore, before anything can be sold here we need to be assured that it is manufactured with adequate pollution control so there would need to be changes in production methods along with oversight inspections that would up the bottom line of their production and make things not so lopsided.

And the same oversight would be needed to be verified that no slave or child labor was used in the production.

It's high time that this country starts holding it's own pants up.
