Not much else to say,

Just watch the ad. Joe Hoekstra wants to make a case that his opponent Debbie Stabenow likes to "Spenditnow", so his people put together an ad that features a Chinese woman not only riding a bicycle through a random rice paddy (with the appropriate gongs and chimes playing in the background) , but then speaking in broken English about why Debbie Stabenow's fiscal policies are helping China's economy and hurting ours. "Your economy get very weak. Ours get very good...We take your jobs."

Joe Hoekstra is not only peddling the most blatant racism I've seen in years (was the girl in the ad that desperate for money? Doing porn would have been less insulting than this), but the same tired fallacy that politicians today feel they can always fall back on when they need an economic policy that the public will blindly accept.

Hoekstra's assertion that Debbie Stabenow's spending habits in Michigan are significantly contributing to the US-China trade imbalance actually seems reasonable when compared to the ad he used to say it.
