I simply do not see how this would help by playing with market demand. Cheaps goods are produced somewhere else to help the bottom line of American companies. The consumer wants cheap goods at cheap prices. Overall, it helps American companies bottom lines, which creates more ventures for more jobs.

I can't see how this is a good idea when the weak dollar is already making America become a more attractive destination to manufacturing.
