Fair Trade in the Balance?

The U.S. Trade Representatives of the past should have done more to impose penalty on on imports of nations that are closing off U.S. Competition. Buidling plants here is one way to assauge or appease but it only suppresses the real problem-fair trade abroad, trade imbalances that have been so long standing they are in...stitutional and and have grown customary. The U.S. Economy is hobbling on one leg to the finish line abreast of the competition not leading it as we are used to.
