Free Trade or Protectionism—Obama says one thing and does another.
During his State of the Union speech Barack Obama said, “We need to export more of our goods because the more products we make and sell to other countries, the more jobs we support right here in America….so tonight we set a new goal, we will double our exports over the next five years an increase that will support two million jobs in America.”
If Obama was really committed to trade and increased exports, why did he slap a 175% duty on electric blankets made in China the same day he delivered his State of the Union speech to a joint session of Congress.
