I agree with everything you said Rucker except that part. I think that if we returned to the CONSTITUTIONALLY MANDATED power of congress to regulate impost and excise taxes (meaning a tariff system) that we would see manufacturing return. "Free"trade is destroying our nation by causing all manufacturing to go to over seas. God help us if we go to war. We can't manufacture enough to win. This "Free"trade stuff is weaking this nations ability to provide for itself and will be our undoing unless we go back to what the Constitution said is supposed to happen.
