I’m just saying we need to start as a nation, to encourage business right here in America.

Not elsewhere.

We need jobs right here in America. We need to figure some way to encourage American businesses, with our own government involved in such as way they are NOT INVOLVED IN PICKING WINNERS AND LOSERS.

But our system needs to be changed, to encourage American production once again.

Go shopping in any store in America.

Everything in imported.

That is screwed up, frankly. We need to produce things right here in America.

I checked several items in my computer room to see where they were made (most are intended as Christmas presents):

popcorn maker - made in China
Monopoly game - made in USA with tokens and dice made in China
Lone Ranger Lego set - made in Denmark, Hungary, Mexico, China, and Czech Republic
Domino set - made in China
"Busytown" children's game - made in China
Magic set - made in China
Computer printer - made in China
Stereo headphones - made in China
NFL Russell Wilson action figure - made in China
CD and DVD repair tool - made in China
Coffee cup - made in China
Children's book - printed in Singapore
Wind power science toy - made in Taiwan
"Photoshop for Dummies" book - made in USA
Mega blocks toy truck - made in Canada

This was a random selection of items close-at-hand. Clearly the problem goes beyond call centers.
