I did the issue #1, and this is what i learned. Tariff's- Taxes on imports that increase the price of foreign made products. Trade agreements- most nations generally establish favorable rules of trade and typically reduce trade barriers. I strongly believe that the United States should have Tariffs on most of the imported goods. This would cause more products to be sold by the american companies/businesses. Than on the other side of the spectrum, Tariffs are a bad thing and should be lowered. This would help America export more goods because businesses could produce more goods if they had a larger market (world wide).
I believe free-trade-agreements are harmful and are ripping apart the american economy. Any smart entrepreneur would send their dirty work to a country like mexico because the work can be done for so damn cheap. They dont have any minimum wages, and the people are willing to wokr for a dollar an hour in Mexico, but in America the minimum wage is around 6 dollars. That means it is 6 times cheaper to send your work down to Mexico. The United States is also sending alot of manufacturing jobs overseas due to cheap labor.
