"Free Trade" Hasn't Worked...Let's Try "Fair Trade"

What the Government REALLY needs to do (after the "Bailout") Press for American EXPORT POLICY that empowers the Car Makers and to sell their products in other countries Not "Free Trade" but "FAIR Trade"

Let's look at Germany as an example..When Mercedes exports a Car, the German Government gives Mercedes an aprox. 20% tax abatement...If GM wants to import a Cadillac into Germany there is a aprox. 20% importation tax...Not exactly a "Level Playing Field" is it? Why don't the FOOLS in Washington do something about this?

For those of you who say that "We cant sell our American Crap...Japan,Korea and Other Countries didn't have the best of products at first.. If the emphisis was on building Cars FOR EXPORT rather than for the North American market only....the quality of American products would be forced to improve

What we do have is a cost advantage...The World is awash in U.S.Dollars... We need The World to buy something with them...other than our Agraculture and Inforstructure
