100%. CAN IT GET ANY CRAZIER?

100%. CAN IT GET ANY CRAZIER? NO, THIS IS NOT A PARANOID FANTASY. IT'S REAL. The Oakland Bay Bridge, an iconic American landmark in the San Francisco Bay, is being built with millions of dollars of Chinese-made steel. We could have made it here. We didn't. And it's just one of many ways China holds us in an economic stranglehold:   • The U.S. – China deficit grew from $84 billion in 2001, when China entered the WTO, to $295 billion in 2011   • This deficit has eliminated or displaced nearly 2.8 million U.S. jobs since 2001, representing about 2 percent of total U.S. employment   • Of the nearly 2.8 million jobs lost or displaced, 1.9 million were in manufacturing – nearly half of all U.S. manufacturing jobs lost between 2001 and 2010   • In a national poll, 96% of Republican voters say they support keeping America's trade laws strong and strictly enforced to provide a level playing field for our workers and businesses   • China owns 9 percent of our public debt Speaker Boehner, listen to us: • Take a stand on China's currency manipulation.   • Stop China's illegal and unfair trade practices.   • Pass H.R. 639/S. 328 – NOW!   Will Washington have the courage to act? Tell Congress to hold China accountable TAKE ACTION TODAY!   We've handed them our future, buying and borrowing like mad. So when unfair trade practices have cost 2.8 million Americans their jobs, Congress does nothing. When our trade deficit with China hits a new record, we fail to curb our insatiable desire for their artificially subsidized exports. This is more than economic suicide. It's a national security threat that requires urgent action by Congress. Will Washington have the courage to act? Tell Congress to hold China accountable
