'America has lost 11.7 million jobs and 440,000 businesses over the past 11 years (Congress, wages)

'America has lost 11.7 million jobs and 440,000 businesses over the past 11 years, but Congress evidently is ignorant of the fact that keeping jobs at home is easier than creating new ones.

The jobs lost are high paying and the replacement jobs are at the bottom rung.

All that has to be done is for Congress to pass legislation implementing tariffs on goods and services and to rescind corporate tax breaks for transnational corporations. It is just that simple.'

Forget the 'war on terror' threat - if we are all mostly bankrupt dos it matter much?

I disagree. Get gov't out of the way and you will see jobs materialize.

Tariffs are a very bad idea, but otherwise I agree that, among some other things, would help.

Get government out of the way and the wealthy individuals and corporations will control the world's wealth by treating jobs like a commodity, and profits like a god - which has already happened.

Make it extremely costly for businesses to outsource to the point that it isn't worth it to go overseas for the ability to pay slave wages.

The exact opposite policy has been in effect for the past decade plus - the result is that we are basicly screwed.

Government helps facilitate that process. Government and Corporations are bedfellows.

Government waves the rally flag, as the corporate bulls run rampant throughout the world's economy. Simply put, elected officials are bought and sold by the corporations.
