Hillary Clinton Addresses AFL-CIO
Posted by SCapozzola on April 1st, 2008
A relevant excerpt from Hillary Clinton’s remarks to the AFL-CIO conference in Philadelphia today:
“Yes, we will finally get tough on China. Right now, China’s steel comes here and our jobs go there. I testified before the international trade commission to try to put the brakes on the dumping of steel in our market. They manipulate their currency, they give illegal subsidies, they abuse workers’ rights. And what do we get in return? Tainted fish, lead-laced toys, and poisoned pet food and polluted pharmaceuticals. That is a bad deal for America. When I’m President, China will be a trade partner not a trade master. And we’re going to get that done.”
Can you give us some specifics Hillary? Want to tell us what you’ll do regarding China’s currency manipulation?
