Trade

  

Washington’s trade policy in the past few decades has failed the American middle class and industrial base.  For far too long, we have seen the U.S. export jobs rather than products.  We can no longer afford to continue on this path.  We must abandon these failed, so-called “free trade” policies of the past and take a new direction that creates more jobs here at home in America.  We need balanced trade.   That is why I have opposed NAFTA, CAFTA, MFN for China, and a host of bad trade deals we have adopted over the last 20 years.
