The debate over climate change legislation is probably the best example of a bill that seems unrelated to trade, and yet could be rendered almost completely meaningless if it doesn't include real trade reform.
Sen. Fritz Hollings | Posted 10.29.2009 | Politics
The politics of the President and the Congress, influenced by the politics of the financial community, brews into the perfect desertion.

With China now accounting for nearly $1 trillion of American debt, the U.S. can't simply insist that it do something about its currency and expect action. Geithner has been right in not publicly calling out China.

Nothing will shape domestic life and prosperity in the United States more than the emergence of China as a global economic superpower.

Hundreds of years ago the Incas would sacrifice virgins to appease their Volcano God. The Gods (the banks) and the methods (bailouts) may have changed, but the tradition remains.

If you were going to start a trade war against the United States, it is unlikely that your first salvo would be on chicken parts, or as the Chinese rather charmingly first announced, on dorkings.

For now, we can solve the problems of our fiscal and trade deficits by eliminating the corporate income tax and replacing it with a 3% value added tax. This actually cuts taxes and raises more revenue.

The USW is in solidarity with Chinese and Indonesian workers who suffer abuse at the hands of their employers. It is governmental policies that injure us both and that we oppose. China cheats.

Won't new climate legislation hurt American industry? Won't it send jobs overseas? The answer is no, it won't.

The mainstream media needs to stop fetishizing the new economy. We can't eat electronic food or wear electronic clothes. We can't all be consultants forever, and America can't keep spending more than it earns.

If Wilson is so concerned about illegal immigration and the possibility that migrants might buy government sponsored health insurance then he should stop pushing for free trade agreements in Latin America.

The G-20 Summit in Pittsburgh provides an opportunity for Americans to move beyond shibboleths of free trade and protectionism and to question the true functioning of the market.
Dave Johnson | Posted 11.18.2009 | Business
Why, exactly, is protectionism so bad? Why can't we have fair trade that lifts workers and protects the environment instead of unregulated free trade that exploits workers and the environment?
Tom Donohue | Posted 11.17.2009 | Business
A major surge of exports is our best path out of recession, double-digit unemployment, and exploding deficits. We should set a national goal of doubling U.S. exports in five years.

President Obama and Congress must make sure that U.S. climate policy efforts encourage other countries to reduce their carbon emissions and spur global demand for U.S. clean energy technologies.
Mike Elk | Posted 11.11.2009 | Business
While the Administration is making some initially encouraging signs on trade, only over time will we know whether the Administration truly intends to pursue a policy of fair trade that leads to prosperity in all nations.

The WTO's ruling late last week in a case involving Boeing and European arch-rival Airbus is a big and welcome victory that shows rule-based trade works.

When the leaders of the G-20 nations arrive in Pittsburgh, I want them to know I am fomenting revolution -- Industrial revolution. Specifically, a 21st-century burgeoning of green manufacturing in the United States.
