I'm not sure I can really see any fix, other than protectionist measures. Those would have been bad THEN, but would they REALLY be bad now? --- Our excessive retail space along with our excessive trade deficit suggest otherwise. That "fear" (propagated by the same policy driving forces that benefit big business) of scaring off trading partners is a big part of the reason we are where we are today. Bankster's extorting bailouts with promises of Utopia for you in exchange and threats of catastrophe if you don't agree. Nothing in between. We close our eyes for profits sake and buy from countries who compete with the most all around lax,destructive, and abusive manufacturing methods that are totally unacceptable. That attitude is no different than that of the greedy banksters. "Make it work for my wallet today and let someone else down the road pay the piper tomorrow" Build it better and right and they'll forget about the tariffs.
