Democratic U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio is backing a bill he says would help create and protect American jobs by cracking down on China's currency manipulation. He's the lead sponsor for the Currency Exchange Rate Oversight Reform Act of 2011.
This week, the bill cleared a key procedural vote in the Senate by a vote of 79-19. Brown says China intentionally devaluing its currency against the dollar has put American manufacturers at a serious disadvantage and made it difficult for them to compete with Chinese companies. He says a recent report shows the growing trade deficit with China, caused largely by China's currency manipulation, has cost the U.S. more than 2.8 million jobs in the past ten years. |
