  Fair Trade

  Lets charge a tarrif on imported goods that is equal to Tarrif charged by exporting country on our goods. For example China Charges 25% on our good going to their country so we should do the same. If we make it fair trade, than we will have free trade. By having these tarriffs , we will also encourage domestic production as well becase there will be more profit in domestic production.

  Sue China for Trade Violations (Allow Class Action)

  It is not just Blue Collar Jobs, but White Collar Unemployment has Doubled in the last 5 years. The Culprit is China and India. Outsourcing and Trade Violations such as Stealing our Intellectual Property (Movies, Software, Music, Patents, Copyrights, etc.) have lost Billions of American Profits and American Jobs.

  It is not just Blue Collar Jobs, but White Collar Unemployment has Doubled in the last 5 years. The Culprit is China and India. Outsourcing and Trade Violations such as Stealing our Intellectual Property (Movies, Software, Music, Patents, Copyrights, etc.) have lost Billions of American Profits and American Jobs. Change the Law or Issue an Executive Order that will Allow Private Companies and Private Individuals to SUE CHINA for Trade Violations as a Class Action Lawsuit. The Burden of Proof will be on China to Prove they are NOT violating the WTO and other Trade Agreements. The Prima Facia Evidence would be that they have Monopolies in various manufacturing Sectors. If Unemployment is above 7% or the Currency Exchange Rate is skewed by a certain percentage, that would automatically trigger a Fine or Court Review of Trade Exemptions and Tarrifs. Also, Trade Laws should only apply when Countries have Equal or Comparable Minimum Wage and Labor and Environmental Laws. Competing against Slave Wages is Unfair Trade and a Race to the Bottom. Require that all Imported Goods to the USA be made by Chinese or Indian Workers that are paid American Minimum Wage or greater and that will stop the unfair trade and create jobs here by insourcing jobs back to the USA.

  Invest in Green Technologies

  We're being passed by other countries in wind, solar, and battery technology among others. We're funding some research in these technologies, but at a level that shows it isn't a priority. Funding innovation needs to be a priority. Those with the patents and production lines for green technologies will have clear advantages as energy prices increase.
