We used to be the biggest employer, now it is China.
Our computers and electronics industry used to be biggest, now it is China.
With industry after industry, our industries are taken over by China. Now we are running huge deficits against China and those are growing every day.
We need a change.
We need an America-first policy.
Now.

Wong, Conservatives are determined to maximize liberty.
Rescuing jobs from China (or anywhere else) will only give credence to Marxist Rat policy overall.
Americans must get the government they deserve.
While Ubama reelection is disheartening and will no doubt lead to MORE outsourcing, America still has an acceptable manufacturing industry.
I can guarantee Gun Manufacturers are not planning layoffs soon (baring Ubama tossing the 2nd amendment in the dumpster)
I am a conservative, and I believe in free markets, but I have to agree with you that we have got to find a way to increase the number of good private sector jobs. I don’t have a miracle answer, but I do agree with you that providing good paying private sector jobs may be the key to Republican victories and a better America. The Republicans need to get their smart people on this.
The Obama regime continues to add more punitive taxation and regulations to U.S. businesses. To whom are you directing your whine?
Protectionism isn’t the answer. Free trade enhances competition and drives prices down. You’re advocating a lower standard of living for Americans, and empowerment of a regulated economy.

When out-of-work techie Duke Evans and his family try to rebuild their lives in a remote mountain town, their own version of the American Dream is cut short as planes begin falling from the sky and all power, communications and transportation suddenly stops working. Caught in an unprecedented cyberattack that signifies the end of the U.S. as we know it, Duke and his family must use all their wits and the unlikely help of an illegal immigrant, to survive this frighteningly realistic scenario where water, food and time are running out.
Dragon Day
Here’s the sad reality, why would I want to create an American job?
If it costs you $60,000 to fill a $36,000 job what’s the point?
I’ve looked at a startup possibility and frankly it’s in my best interest to just hire some key American personnel and outsource all technical jobs overseas. I’m not interested in creating jobs, I’m interested in making money to support myself and my family.
A rational full-employment policy would involve:
1) a free market in labor, so that wage rates can be adjusted to correspond with the state of the demand for labor and thus make any given monetary demand for labor - any given amount of payroll spending - sufficient to provide full employment.
2) a 100% reserve gold standard, so that no financial contraction need ever occur and thus no precipitation even of temporary mass unemployment.
This policy would guarantee full employment in a context of the highest possible productivity of labor and would operate to the benefit of everyone.
50% of the voting public is a bunch of worthless communist liberal dirtbags. They deserve NOTHING! They are not Americans, they’re freeloaders.
As a business owner, my primary goals, in order,are to service my customers and MAXIMIZE profits.
How I conduct my business is none of the governments concern.
The only sound money candidate to run last election was not chosen by the GOP.
Sound money would enforce a balance of trade because imbalanced flows would result in price increases that could not be met, allowing the market’s price mechanism to direct production and trade in accordance with the underlying realities of supply and demand.
So long as we can print money in exchange for Chinese (or anywhere else) produced goods, we’ll do it, even as it hollows out our industries.

I agree on one condition, get rid of unions first.
Come to America - we have it all:
High taxes.
Massive regulations.
Bureaucrats and politicians who hate you.
Yes please, move to America. :)
It seems strange that Nissan, Toyota, Kia, Volkswagon, BMW, Mercedes and probably Honda too, have all built plants in the right to work states. AL, TN, SC, and ?. But to hear the blue states, we are all scum and we take more from federal tax dollars than we pay in. But this should be changing. One would think. It does indeed take time to change from an agriculture based economy on the “southern states” to a mfg. based economy. Wages at these places are good/decent, benefits, they aren’t strangled by the unions. Our property taxes are relatively low, our state income taxes are relatively low, when compared to places like NJ and MA and others. But yet we’re still redneck scum in their eyes.
Oh goody. Another Fascist shows his true stripes. I love when faux conservatives unmask themselves.
Between the increased cost and regulatory burden and the possibility of forced unionization, asking US companies to bring their factories back here may be tantamount to asking the to put a gun to their head.
Are you crazy. The best thing businesses can do is get the hell out of this Country. Most business cannot survive in this communists climate of tax and regulating them out of normal profits to keep their business running.
The way to get businesses back to the US is by creating a business-friendly climate of minimum regulation, low tax rates ( which actually result in increased revenue), tort reform, and enforcing international trade agreements.
We aren’t in any national debate. Obama runs things and really soon there will be even more regulations and expenses for a company to operate. Obama created 7000 new regs to take effect.
What you will see is a decline in American business. Small ones will go away and the big ones will locate in more favorable places.
We won’t do anything about China because they own our debt.
They will be hurt the poorer we become. We won’t be buying as much.
So, that really sets up a very dangerous conclusion.
I know you mean well, but it is naive to think that Obama is going to do what you want, NOW
