Toby Keith Quotes
We try to buy as much American-made shirts as we can and stuff to sell. It's very difficult to cover every base as much as our country has been saturated with foreign products.

The United States had been running a large trade deficit with China.
Many free-traders disagree. While there is unemployment in the auto industry from imported cars, there is increased employment in the importing process, the marketing, selling, and maintenance of the imported cars as well as their financing. Further, when trade is open, we can then export products and services to Japan and this creates jobs. No one has ever been able to exactly measure the jobs created so it is an unsettled intellectual economic and political question. However, the people who lose jobs to imports are generally identifiable while the beneficiaries of many of the new jobs created by open trade are never specifically identified, so public opinion is more sympathetic to the former.
