Jobs Plan 2015

The economic plan I shared earlier will go a long way at fixing the economy and open jobs. But, there is more we can do.

We need to eliminate all OSHA regulations. These regulations add a costly burden to the cost of doing business in the United States. Those regulations should be in the purview of the States. We need to eliminate the Environmental Protection Agency, and all the regulations that go with it. Again, those regulations should be in the purview of the States. True, Constitutionally, the Federal Government has the authority to regulate international and interstate commerce. But those regulations should be few. But the Federal Government does not have the authority to regulate commerce within the States. The few regulations that will be allowed must have a National, or at least multi-State, scope.

We need to stop enacting unfair trade agreements that do nothing but open the U.S. market to other countries creating a trade imbalance, and create loopholes for U.S. companies to move to other countries. And as quickly as possible we need to get out of the unfair trade agreements already enacted. The only trade agreements I would favor are ones that say, "If you want to sell your manufactured goods in the United States, they must be made in the United States." Of course we would have to reciprocate to be fair. That means for all the products being sold in big department stores that come to China, they would have to be made in the United States. China businesses would have to build factories, or use vacant factories here in the United States, and give Americans those jobs. Likewise, if American companies want to sell in China, they must make their products in China. This will help the economies in both Countries. The same would be true for other Countries we have the same trade agreement with. Therefore, the world economy should get better.

Less taxes, less regulation and more sensible trade agreements. This should open the floodgates of employment.
