Congress forces USPS to subsidize mailers in China and gouge Americans nearly six times as much to send the same package

Billions of dollars of goods are imported from China into the United States every week, and very little is exported to that communist monolith from small businesses in our country.

VAT is another big reason our factories are closed, and the good jobs have gone overseas

But the real purpose of the vote was to give Democrats license to vote for Fast Track authority without … Continue reading China has destroyed our factories and jobs because of its unfair import VAT policy, not just currency manipulation
