Think America - if you don't return the outsourced jobs to America, there simply is no recovery
Perhaps it's better this way - America has been living high on the hog for decades, maybe it's time for other countries to have their day in the sun.

Let's start by taking what you have and spreading it around then, since you believe in Communism. |

We are in a world economy. From Monaco to Canada, from the US to China, from the poorest African nation, to the richest European, from Indonesia to Argentina, never in history has trade between nations been so important. Our entire globe has something to sell/or serve and those products and services need a buyer.
We could shut the borders, we could close all ports and become true isolationists. Here in the US, we'd probably adjust and survive, but there would be wailing and gnashing of teeth for a while, but the US labor force must understand that the products and services we buy can't be built in the US for the profitable price we are willing to pay.
The Global Economy is truly the largest "supply vs demand" economy imaginable. No government of any style or any size can overcome the power of such an economy. The USSR/North Korea/China from 1948-1990's are all perfect examples of how desolate a closed door and lack of willingness to allow free flow of goods and services nationally and internationally create internal poverty and regression. No, not "DE" pression, but rather "RE" gression.

We have the highest business tax rate in the industrialized world - and obama looks to increase that rate. Absolute disaster.
He needs to cut it and the unions need to go away.

It's funny that you are still repeating that, considering that after tax havens, credits and loopholes we're actually near the bottom. |

Never say never, we need to get off this idea that we are all going to college and are going to be Doctors and Lawyers. We need factories and factory workers working for salaries that provide a middle class wage.
