To Renew America: on Free Trade


Ask major exporters what they need to compete globally

We need to approach our major exporters and ask what help they need to compete in the world market. To what extent does the American tax code undermine American sales overseas? To what extent does our government need to be tougher in compelling our trading partners to live up to their agreements?

We also need to rethink America as a job and foreign exchange producer. Historically when we have thought of travel and tourism we have thought of Americans going overseas. Yet the US is a terrific travel destination. We want to increase dramatically the number of visitors coming to the US to spend their currency.

Travel and tourism is the second largest industry in the world yet we still undervalue its potential as a job creator here in the US.
