#2 2005 US-China trade deficits:
US-China: $201.5 billion, growing 20%/year
US-India: $10.8 billion, growing 15%/year and accelerating
US-Brazil: $9.1 billion, growing 100%/year
US-South Africa: $2.0 billion, growing 50% this year

I would like nothing more than trade sanctions. I like it so much that I advise the American people to minimize buying any products from overseas. Keep the dollars and bring the middle class manufacturing jobs back home.

#3 This isn't really about Kyoto - it's nothing more than an end-run around WTO free trade requirements.* I guarantee you that Washington will put the screws to the countries that levy trade sanctions against us.

* The Japanese used to bar American medical products on the basis of what they termed genetic differences between the two nations, so non-tariff trade barriers are nothing new.
