Ballotpedia survey responses

Janice Hagerman participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on April 10, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Janice Hagerman's responses follow below.[1]
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
| “ | 1) Fight on drug abuse 2) Jobs, raising minimum wage, job training, education |
” |
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?
| “ | I am passionate about 2 areas of public policy; healthcare and economics. At this point, economics is the most important to both WV and the US. I am from a family that has been in the coal mines, timber and trucking business for decades. The people of WV and the USA need to understand that the coal, steel and automotive businesses are intricately intertwined. One industry can not survive without the other. The basic question regarding public economics is whether or not the government should participate in economic markets and to what extent should the USA do so. My answer: yes! Especially in the coal, steel and automotive industries. The US government should participate to the extent that the coal, steel and automotive industries not only recover but become competitive and lead the international markets as we once did. The biggest steel producing country is currently China. It produced 49.2% of all steel in the world in 2017. That is 831.7 million metric tons out 1,691.2 produced world wide. The USA produced only 81.6 million metric tons out of 1691.2 that is only 4.8%. So, it logically follows that China is the #1 producer of coal, which is used to smelt steel. China produced 3411.0 million tons out of 7460.4 which equals 45.7% of world wide coal production. The US was #3 in coal, trailing behind India who was #2. The USA produced 660.6 million tons out of 7,460.4 which was only 8.8% of all coal produced world wide. So as you can see, coal is not dead. They are just not buying WV or US coal. The coal from China and India is being used first. The USA is also #17 in exporting (or selling ) steel and # 2 in importing/buying steel. In fact, China is #1 in coal, steel, aluminium, glass and cement. China's unused steel capacity equals the total annual output of the next 4 countries; Japan, India, USA and Russia. The Chinese government supported overproduction to reduce the prices world wide. Now it has vowed to reduce steel and coal production by 10% over the next 5 years. Again manipulating the market unfairly. This brings me to my foreign policy. I say, "we not only place tariffs on their steel but a slow down or reduction of imports altogether."Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[3]
