Foreign countries like China are cheating when it comes to international trade. They are tilting the trade scales in their favor by using unfair tactics such as subsidies, currency manipulation and dumping. And they are getting away with it, because trade laws that would hold China and other offending countries accountable are not being enforced. That is ruining our own economy and contributing to massive job losses - 49,000 a month in American manufacturing alone.

Our lawmakers must be the referees, strengthening trade laws to ensure that trade is fair and balanced. Because, all America really needs is a level playing field on which to compete. The cheating has to stop.

Congress must pass meaningful legislation that will apply anti-subsidy trade laws fairly to all economies; restore the effectiveness of our eroded trade laws, and address the inequities of currency manipulation.
