3. No. A better solution is to renegotiated the free trade agreements
so that our exports are balanced with our imports. We should not permit ourselves to import several times what whe export.

Then, break up the companies that are too big to fail by amending our antitrust law to prohibit related companies from working together to prevent new companies from getting a good foothold in markets and then enforcing the antitrust laws.

Also, more money should be made directly available for loans for small businesses.

I'm for more real competition in the marketplace, not less. My stance on the trade agreements stems in part from the fact that sometimes, the companies against which Americans have to compete are owned at least in part by their countries' governments. That puts our companies at a huge disadvantage.
