      Do you ever propose solutions - or just ridicule others trying to solve problems?

      Check out my balanced budget amendment. Disagreeing is not ridiculing. I will always speak out against left-wing proposals.

      So how do you propose we fix the trade imbalance and the loss of jobs to Mexico?

      Trade (im)balance is not a measure of economic prosperity. You have a trade imbalance w/ the grocery store. It doesn't harm you.

      I highly recommend this book. => https://fee.org/resources/economics-in-one-lesson/#calibre_link-40 … Chapters 11 and 12 are particularly relevant to this discussion.

      I'll check it out - but I'm still interested in your solutions. I've supported you in every election, including Michigan House.

      I know that and appreciate it. We increase prosperity with lower taxes, fewer regulations, and less government central planning.

      After reading the book you recommended - your thoughts on TPP, more free trade agreements and wage controls?

      Haven't read TPP. Trade agreements may be good or bad. They should create free markets, not central planning. No wage controls.

          @cmsarge53 @cabbageguy I read TPP after my career disappeared. Horrible for millions of Americans

          My understanding is TPP does move us closer to free trading - something Mexico seems to have over us.
