Obama aims to boost trade enforcement

WASHINGTON
President Barack Obama’s new budget proposal will ask Congress to devote millions for a new trade enforcement center and more U.S. inspectors in China as the administration takes aim at unfair trade practices abroad, a senior administration official said Saturday.
It’s all part of Obama’s focus on boosting U.S. manufacturing and exports as he tries to win voters and improve the economy.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity ahead of Monday’s release of the president’s 2013 budget blueprint, said the document will call for plowing $26 million into a new Interagency Trade Enforcement Center.

More money going out and, perhaps, more czars? Even Obama knows that he jumps when the Chinese pull the strings but it's good showmanship for the upcoming election.
All this is so that he can get re-elected and nothing else. He's trying to tell the fools of this country what they want to hear. He's not for this country, like Photiman has stated "He's nothing but a puppet.
