When asked "what specifically would you do to bring manufacturing jobs back to America," Sen. Ted Cruz called for less regulation and getting rid of "all the taxes."
First he criticized the "left-wing policy" that he said has "utterly decimated" a city like Detroit.
"You know, Henry Ford revolutionized automobile manufacturing and brought automobiles to the middle class. During World War II, Detroit provided -- funded the arsenals of democracy to help us win World War II.
"In the 1960s, Detroit was the Silicon Valley of America. It had a population of 2 million people, had the highest per capita income in the country. And then, for 50 years, left-wing Democrats have pursued destructive tax policies, weak crime policies, and have driven the citizens out.
"This city now has just 700,000 citizens. There are vacant homes, one after the other after the other. Crime has been rampant, and it is an outrage. And let me say to folks in the media: That is a story that the media ought to be telling over and over again, the destruction of left-wing policies and the millions who have hurt because of it."
Debate moderator Chris Wallace cut in: "I'll give you 30 seconds to try to answer my question. What specifically would you do to bring manufacturing jobs back to Detroit and to train the residents here to do those jobs?"

End the free trade deals. End using tax payer money to fund overseas businesses in China and other third world countries. If a business wants to incorporate here, they have to manufacture here! It's that simple! A pair of 1 hundred dollar nikes manufactured here in the eighties, still cost's a hundred dollars manufactured from China.
ReplyDeleteStop the Corporate welfare! Start supporting local businesses where ever possible. I do this now when I go out to eat and look for only local produce and meat. I can't avoid it all, but I can do my part whenever possible.
We need term limits of all elected officials. Public service should be just that! Like military service, you do your term and then leave! It was like this in the beginning of this country. It's needs to be this way again!
Finally the news media needs to be free and independent without government and corporate control and over-site!
What he CAN"T say is, "Let the Republican Conservatives run it for 5 years".
ReplyDeleteBut, that's the fix.
