All of these developments present new dangers to America’s national security and world leadership, yet the national media and leaders in Washington have mostly had little to say about their combined impact on our nation. Fortunately, a few key individuals have been speaking out repeatedly. Here is my “good guys” list. It includes Leo Gerard, President of the United Steelworkers, Senator Bernie Sanders, an Independent from Vermont, and Ed Schultz, host of the nightly MSNBC television show. Often, two of them appear together.
My group, Balanced Trade Associates, fully supports these bold and able men. We want to add another huge, seldom mentioned problem to the list, together with a proposed solution. It’s the fact that our domestic industries and rich market are being taken over by massive uncontrolled imports. We import more than $2.2 trillion in goods a year from a half-million producers worldwide. We export much less, leaving a trade deficit of $600 billion, which results in a reduction of about 4 percent in our national GDP. My partner, Will Wilkin, and I will contact the three “good guys” and others who respond to this article to answer questions and find common ground. We’ll also send them our proposed legislation as the best answer to the import problem. It is “The Balanced Trade Restoration Act of 2014.”
