I supported free trade until it was used against are people, by not really being what it is called, through currency manipulation and foreign government subsidies, that is against the rules, but are done anyway, and why are trade imbalance is so huge with all our largest trading partners. This doesn't hurt the politicians, but this is devastating for the American worker, and it is time that it is stopped. Free trade is supposed to be balanced, which it is not, but if President Trump gets his way, it will be, and that 88% of our industry that has been lost since the 1960s, will be returned and produce jobs for Americans, and grow the middleclass once again, where Obama and the Democrats have decimated the middleclass over the last 8 years.
Obama has dropped so many people from the 'US Workforce' (most of which are from the middleclass) in order to get the 'Unemployment Rate' down to a false and unrealistic percent, that it's participation rate is the lowest percentage that it has been over the last 40 years, and 40 years ago the US population was less than half of what it is today, and with the same participation rate as 40 years ago, makes the number of Americans without a job the highest ever in US history, and most of those were from the middleclass.
This country has been imploding since Obama and the Democrats took it over 8 years ago, and whether you want to believe it or not, it seems that President Trump is our last best hope to save it, not only for us, but also for our posterity. But roll the dice and get rid of President Trump, and when the collapse comes, it will be too late to then stop it.
Do you really not know how bad our situation is after Obama double the national debt in just 8 years, that took all our previous Presidents 232 years to acquire? Do you not know that the only true growth in the US Economy, while Obama and the Democrats controlled it for 8 years, was the doubling of our currency in circulation just here in the USA?
You just can't be that ignorant not to see the trouble the USA and the American people are really in, can you? It's time for a change and a savior, and Hillary Clinton was going to be just 4 more years of the last 8 years, that put us in this situation.
Do you really think the US economy grew, when Obama is the first President in US history that never had a single year of GDP growth over 2%, and he had 8 years to do it? You can't see that the measly less than 2% GDP growth came only from the Federal Government forcing a trillion dollars a year into the economy, through 'Welfare, Food Stamps, Disability Payments, and Medicaid', which was paid for by borrowing money from the Federal Reserve Board, who printed it out of thin air with no intrinsic value, just 'Fiat Currency', which is how the US Treasury has paid Obama's yearly averaged deficits of $1.3 trillion every year that he was President?
My GOD wake up, if you don't want to try to stop it, at least be aware of the tragedy that you and all Americans will suffer if President Trump is not successful.

randy,
You seem to miss something on the post..
do you support free trade... That has been a basic right wing policy for as long as I have noticed..
While this policy change by the g20 will not have much of an effect in the short term, I do think trump will like it.
Or maybe with his connection in Asia, he will not be so keen on it..
In your post you have item after item which is not true or you misunderstand..
But.... the "US workforce" participation.. Man I get so sick of going over this time after time.. Those not in the workforce are retirees, students, disabled, and those who simply do not want a job among others.
Obama administration made a change the kept the unemployed counted longer the prior years. up to 99 weeks.. that was all.
I am not going to bother with all that other stuff..
