Scott Smith posted to Our Solutions, "An analysis of our import/export situation is required to determine how to balance trade to achieve “fair trade” initiatives by industry, by region, by product. Triggers to achieve “fair trade” would include targeted tariffs, penalties, and in a few cases less of both such that we are able to justly balance the cost of imports/exports taking into full consideration how the targeted trading partner subsidizes an industry or a product. This method would also allow for balancing of currency manipulation and other “unfair” non-market based trade practices that currently give our trading partners the upper hand."
"This is not a “protectionist” ideology. This is merely leveling the global economic market in a dynamic and real time process based on how our partners behave. If our trading partners allow for natural market dynamics, then all can compete equally on cost and elements such as value, quality, service, warranties, et. al. become the focus of winning business and keeping business."
