Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are presenting Americans with their competing views on trade and the economy.

Hillary Clinton explained how Democrat policies would create jobs.

Let's say you're a house builder.

You may think that illogical minimum wage laws and overly stringent environmental regulations

that drive the cost of your labor and materials into the stratosphere might put you out of business.

But luckily, Democrats are allowing millions of illegal immigrants into the country

who work off the books and don't have to obey those rules.

So they can work on your house much more cheaply.

If you still had a house, which of course you don't, because you went out of business.

But at least now you qualify for welfare.

And in order to pay for that, we have to borrow billions from future generations.

So the children of illegal immigrants who will be legal will ultimately have to pay for your welfare.

So you have revenge.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump offered his plan to restore the economy,

harking back to the 18th century necessity of funding the government through tariffs.

Trump said that he would renegotiate our foreign trade deals.

And if the British continued to interfere with our freeots,

he would make common cause with the Cherokee and Iroquois Indian tribes

to drive the red coats from our shores.

Trump said that other nations were stealing such traditional American jobs

as potmaking, spear sharpening, and bison hunting.

But under a Trump economy, they would all come back.
