We decide.
One great place is (drum roll, please...)
the Official Presidential 2016 Campaign Websites! Gotta love the internet!
Official Donald Trump Issues Website

Official Donald Trump Positions Website

Official Hillary Clinton Issues Website

The candidates websites are the "Horse's Mouth" (old school term).
The correct information
Not parsed by opinion on Cable news TV.
They're making the big bucks speaking their opinions.
Their jobs didn't get outsourced.
Ours did.
We are the voters and we form our own opinions.
Our opinions are equally important.
Start at Square One...
The Candidates Websites.
Watch the candidates official videos of their rallies, speeches...etc. Visit their Twitter, Facebook and other social media pages.

C-Span is The Greatest Channel. Has all sides, and no commercials. Video archives. Call In Program called Washington Journal, and much, much more.

Dagnabit!
Soapbox Blue Collar Rap:
United States of America Balance of Trade
Trading Economics website affords one a Quick Look
at the
United States Trade Imbalance
or Balance
for the last month, previous years,
Back to 1950, for example, and much, much, much more...
Big Time.
Awaken Your Inner Columbus,
Don your Columbo overcoat,
Remember Sherlock Holmes said
'It's Elementary, Watson.' and
Take a Deep Dive into the Info.
The charts travel
Back in time
with a mouse click
or
touch on your smartphone screen.
Simply Amazing!
Amazingly Simple!
Nafta, Cafta...etc. trade deals started in 1990's. Navigate the charts
keeping in mind the years the trade deals went into effect.
You can navigate other countries Trading Goods and Services Imbalance or Balance with the United States of America.
Like Marty and Doc in
Back to the Future, in your mind's DeLorean (that was the vehicle in Back to the Future that went backwards or forwards in time)
do the same.
Your town, city, state.
Our great Country.
Then...US Manufacturing was over one-third of GDP.... Gross Domestic Product... with
Plentiful Good payin' jobs, Smooth roads, Social Security, Medicare and other citizen's  Federal, State, Local, services financial foundations beautifully funded because of the Number and Quality of Good Paying Manufacturing Jobs and the 7 or 8 other great jobs created upstream or downstream in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and all of our States.
Now...Manufacturing is barely over One-Tenth of GDP.
That's a huge drop.
Huge.

These trade deals have decimated some of our communities thanks to over 25 years of trade deficits with some major trading partners. Free trade is fine. If it's fair. And everyone plays by the rules...
and the rules are...
enforced.
Common sense:
Surplus good
Deficit bad.
We hear it all the time.
Our states have to balance their budgets.
The Federal gov't talks about balancing the budget.
Why hasn't the ever-lovin' Trade Deficit over the past decades been prioritized and resolved?
Not an economist,
however...
Common Sensically...
It's highly probable and possible
A Balanced Trade with all of our trading partners could manifest itself into the
Greatest Good-Payin' American Job Creator!
Everyone Wins...
Especially, the Good Old U.S.A.
That means Us, the citizens and future generations!
Finally, finally, finally there has been discussion in 2015 and 2016 Presidential Election about remedies to our Trade Imbalances.
Specific, Specific, Specific
Solutions.
Renegotiation, a better deal, new deal, strength at bargaining table, one by one country negotiation, tariffs, taxes, penalties, company incentives...etc.

Trade is one of the most important election campaign issues in Michigan (if not the most important). Who can get the J.O.B done quickly will Win the Hearts and Minds of Michigan voters...and will win Michigan's 16 electoral votes in 2016.
Count on it.
Where would a President Trump or President Clinton be on trade? What are Dem GOP nominees Trump Clinton fixes and solutions on Nafta, TTP, TTIP trade deals?

Any Jobs that are brought  back to the USA is a Victory for the US Workforce!
Whatever state they live in.

Michigan wants those Jobs, also.
And we can and will compete for them in Michigan
with our
Ready, Willing and Able workforce. Manufacturing is in our blood.
GM, Ford, Chrysler and other manufacturing workers and supporting industries and other various downstream-upstream jobs and careers in other Goods and Services Producers, Small and Big Businesses...etc. All Michigan's workforce, and it is a hard-workin' force to be reckoned with.
This ain't no rust belt.
We make things here.

Hey you Heavy Cats...Can You Dig it?

The Number One Song and Album On
The Politics Hit Parade in the
United States
and
Number One
For over a Year and Sales are still increasing...Soaring...never seen this before...this suckers gots some legs, man in Michigan,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Virginian, Florida...more states are being added to the list as this is written.
...the envelope please...
Number One...
"Oh, Who Will Give US...a New Deal...in Trade Deals...'cause It's a Big Deal" (and We'll Vote For Them!) People relate to the title since 6 Million jobs and 55,000 Manufacturing Plants have been lost since the Turn of the Century in America.

Number One hit is by...
The Everybody's Voting In The USA 2016
Big League Band Medicine Show.

The Everbody's have always realized, understood, the importance of Bringing Back Our Jobs Now, not later.
It's The Number One Issue in the US.
There is finally Music and Lyrics to it.
Dig it!

New song is from The Everybody's Gold and Platinum Number One Selling Album
titled:
"The Ballad of The Outsider vs. The Establishment"
on
Made in USA Records.
(The record labels had some rough times over the last 25 years...but you can't keep a Great Record Label Down!)

Tracks on the Album include:

2.Where or Where (Did My Factory Go?) segues into
a. GreenSpace Blues

3.(I got them old) Pothole Blues (and so does my wheels!)

4. It Was Cheap (But it Didn't Last!)

5. One Good Payin' Job Brought Home (creates 7 or 8, so don't be late!).
Very Interesting.
Playing the Song Backwards, the Reverse Happens!

6. Baby, Where Did My Job and Trade Surplus Go?
B side of single is "Truth Deficit"

7. Jobs, Jobs, Jobs! (Bringing Them Back Home To Mama and Papa) The Everybody's  Amazing lyrical ability is displayed in the song as it mentions 6 million jobs and 55,000 Manufacturing Plants lost since the Turn of the Century! Wow!


8. The Ballad of The Outsider vs. The Establishment (Rolling Stones meets Fleetwood Mac Vibe). Put on your headphones and read behind the lines, baby. Heavy lyrics. Best song on the LP! DVD of The Everybody's live concerts is unbelievable.
In key, and hittin' the right notes...
The harmony is amazin'.
Beatlesque!

The Everybody's Band is back, big time.
They're Gettin' in Tune. Not missing a beat.
On top of America's issues lyrically.
They Won't Get Fooled Again.
No more Young Man Blues.
It's about time.

The Everybody's drifted apart over the years.
Became apathetic to the music.
There were more important things in their everyday lives.
The music changed on them while they were away.
Music Jobs slowly drifted away...
and away.
They took other jobs. Had to move away.
It was hard on them and their families.

But vacations renew, re-inspire the human spirit.
The Everybody's had
time to ponder.
Contemplate.
Think.
About
What is really important.
For themselves.
But more importanty,
For their country.
It's future.
They became re-inspired.
To write.
To play.
The Everybody's got back on the music scene...
Like a Rock!
Writin' topically important song lyrics...songs that make you think, along with foot tappin' rhythms.

The Everybody's have created their own "Sgt. Peppers" pinnacle of success with "The Outsider vs. The Establishment" Lp.

The albums songs connect the dots on the American political scene 2016.

Common sense
Meets music.
Simply logical.
Easily understandable.
Perfect sense.

Consumers are spending money again.
People feel good about the economy.
The new paychecks pay into Social Security, Medicare...etc. Strengthening them.
Roads are smoother.
New businesses are popping up all over.
Property values rise.

And as we all know...
There's No Place Like Home!
Everybody Benefits when Jobs are brought
back, back, back home...
to Mama and Papa.

That's what America's about.

It's 2 plus 2.

No more Young Men and Women Blues for Americans.

Music. Universal Language. Music. Speaks to Everyone. All demographics in our United States. Music genres from Big Band Swing, Country, Blues, Rockabilly, Folk, Jazz, Rock and Roll, Classical, Bluegrass, Electric, Acoustic, Brass and more. We "vote" with our feet, dancing to it or walking away. We "vote" with our ears daily, with changeable listening habits by channel-surfing radio stations, pre-programming cd tracks, songs on playlists until we hear that One song. Then another. Play it again, Sam, if it rocks. The music plus the words, the memories. Plus, most importantly, the Beat. It Don't Mean a Thing, If It Ain't Got That Swing (Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennett Lady GaGa).
Get the Okey Dokey from the musicians to use some of our favorite Michigan Soul and Rock and Rollers songs on this list at your campaign events in our great Wolverine state and all the other states of the union. Your endorsements help the artists, and we like hearing their songs. Their music, brings back memories, makes the campaign events, rallies, townhalls, ads, commercials, videos even more memorable for us.
The Big 3 song ingredients (listening to music, cruising down those old roads and highways in our cars and trucks is a popular topic, forever written about in popular music) of Music, Words, and Beat create Memories, a Final Four, if you will, my sports analogy, of song ingredients. Hearing the song for the first time, we like it or we don't. We know immediately. Sometimes, repeated listening to a song that we didn't like at first, leads to a greater appreciation of the tune. We begin to enjoy it.

Sporting venues, stadiums serve dual music roles. During basketball, baseball, football, hockey games ...etc., different song's lyrical content are utilized to inspire the fan's and players. Second, live bands, musicians, organizations and political campaigns utilize these same venues for concerts, speaking engagements and campaign rallies.
Similar to sports, politics are competitive and a competition in the arena of ideas, ideals, solutions. They are disimilar in various areas and aspects, also.

Movie soundtracks present a perfect example of the power of memorable songs matched to certain scenes in the picture. Especially the epilogue. Hmmm. Maybe political campaigns of the future might want to issue a soundtrack for their individual campaigns. Video single or album. Getting the artist's or musicians ok, of course, which is understandably challenging because politics can be divisive; music brings people together and transcends politics.
More political candidate musicians might be in our future. Famously, Arkansas's Governor Bill Clinton played tenor saxophone on Arsenio Hall's talk show in 1992. If you weren't keeping up with politics back then, like alot of us didn't, that musical event was newsworthy in that day and time. Different. Memorable. He went on to become President of the United States. Arkansas' former Governor Mike Huckabee, 2008, 2016 election cycles presidential candidate is an accomplished bass player. At the end of his live Sunday night "Huckabee" Tv program, 2008-2015 on Fox News, he would play bass in his band, ending each show with a song. Sometimes with his Tv show's visiting musical guests. Interestingly, both Bill Clinton and Mike Huckabee are musician's and former Governor's from Arkansas. Cool and "hat's off" to the great state of Arkansas.
Read that Mike Huckabee is a big fan of Michigan's Grand Funk Railroad Mike Huckabee on why Music is More than Just a Hobby and his Grand Funk Railroad Story. September 8 2007 Making Music Magazine Article. The strong, driving bass beat was a unique, distinguishing factor and major ingredient of the Grand Funk Railroad sound, as were their amazing vocals, guitar playing, drumming and keyboards. Originals. Unique. Blue Collar Michigan Rock and Roll at it's finest. They sold out New York's Shea Stadium and Madison Square Garden. Mike Huckabee is accomplished on bass guitar, it makes perfect sense he would enjoy Grand Funk Railroad. "We're an American Band" is a classic American blue-collar rock and roll song. Still hear it on FM radio 40 yrs later, along with Grand Funk's hit cover of Little Eva's "Locomotion".To have Flint, Michigan's Grand Funk Railroad Band nominated, voted for, and inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum in Cleveland, Ohio would be "Some Kind of Wonderful" and broadcast to the world the musical significance and contribution Grand Funk Railroad made to rock and roll music history, and make the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio even "Closer to Home" for us in Michigan.

If TV commercials contain popular music, why not candidates campaigns tv ads, online video ads, banner ads? One day, maybe future politicos, politicians, will write and perform their own songs. Could be a mix of fun and serious, of course. Release their cd on their campaign website or Music video with lyrics. Free download or voluntary donation. Direct to a charity of our choice. Of course, depends on current campaign finance law guidelines. Candidates could Draw on their Inner Dylan, Johnny Cash, Waylon, Beatles, Hemingway, Shakespeare and write timeless lyrics. Choose the right musical notes, chords, instrumentation. Voila! A single or album with video and lyrics included, of course. With today's digital music tools and software extremely cost-effective, shouldn't be too hard. Will Billboard, Rolling Stone or other musical media enterprise have a Top 10 Political singles, album's or video's chart list if this became popular? Cool, uncool, who knows?

Since the Gop convention 2016 is being held in Cleveland, Ohio this year, makes alot of sense to visit Cleveland's Historic Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum Site. Great place to start your music history lessons. Visitor's to the website can vote for each years nominee's. Awesome! Detroit, Michigan's Motown Museum Site is cool. The Motown Sound Changed Music history and created new, favorites, classics, timeless, original music standards we still tap our foot to today and hear on TV, movie soundtracks, commercials, radio and music playlists. Remember, every state has their own homegrown music recording artists. Use their songs, if it's OK with the musicians, of course. Might getcha' a coupla of votes, probably more. Just sayin'. My advice and a couple of George Washington's gets you a great cup of coffee at the local diner. Don't forget to tip the waitress! She's workin' hard to pay those bills, like the rest of us. : ) Thanks.
