Raw Story: Super Bowl ad for U.S. Senate candidate Pete Hoekstra (R) uses an Asian woman speaking in broken English to accuse his rival, Democratic incumbent Debbie Stabenow, of helping the Chinese economy. “Thank you Michigan Senator Debbie Spenditnow,” the woman says in the 30-second ad as she rides her bike through a rice paddy field.
“Debbie spends so much American money, you borrow more and more, from us. You’re economy get very weak, ours get very good. We take your jobs. Thank you Debbie Spenditnow.”
Putting aside the ad is racist, the Republicans are more than desperate to push the results of their failed public policy onto others. But the fact is GOP regulatory, trade and tax policy encourages outsourcing. Which is why as soon as Reagan slashed tax rates on the rich and the trans-national corporation, allowed upper management to be paid in stock options, and deregulated everything, jobs started going to China. And if the historical result is not proof enough of which party is all about trans-national CEO's and Chinese factory owners, the fact that every time the Democrats try and correct the problem the Republicans block it should remove any doubt.
What about NAFTA = Bill Clinton
