I’m sick of being told how offshoring jobs is good for us. They’ve been telling us this for decades and I don’t see the benefits. I lost a good job with good health insurance because of it. Those are facts, not theories. There’s an old saying...”don’t piss on me and tell me it’s raining “. I appreciate your arguments.

Again, if the issue is "what is (or is not) good for you," then how badly do you want to shackle the U.S. economy so you get to keep your job?

It's really not that much different from the government spending $100K in order to create a job that pays $30K.

Bingo.

And it’s getting worse, not better. We have reached the time to re-asses the policy.

I may or may not support protectionism per se, still thinking through that. But we absolutely, positively are doing it wrong now.

100%.
