How big a trade deficit will do-nothing Bush tolerate?
We had a record $541.8 billon trade deficit last year thanks to Bush, the champion do-nothing.

What are his trade policies anyway? Has Bush opened markets to American made products?

We buy and buy from foreign countries, but what do they buy from us?

Bush is wrecking America. I think there should be a strict limit an trade deficits with any foreign country. Something needs to be done to open up markets. Bush is a do-nothing. He has to go.

1. What does he care...
The rich are chosen by the grace of God, and the poor are just poor because they are lazy. *sarcasm*

2. problem is
That American corporations are great at sending labor overseas via outsourcing to make the quick buck back here, but they are terrible at marketing our products in new & different countries.

There are tens of millions of new, or fairly new, Chinese middle class on the East Coast of China that would love to buy American products - McDonald's & Kentucky Fried Chicken are huge over there. But, why not design a smaller car for the Chinese market for the growing Chinese commuter class? I'm sure the same can be said of India with their growing middle class.
