That's the point; the global market horse has left the barn. Happened quite a while ago. And sorry for mixing metaphors at such an early hour, but we won't be putting that genie back in the bottle.
The global market isn't a horse needing to leave or stay in the barn and has nothing to do with America. Show me where Globalism is addressed in the Constitution - it isn't. And much of what these globalist twits are doing requires them to ammend the Constitution to do. They have not attempted to do so because Americans wouldn't sit still for it. They're hoping that the long-suffering of Americans will let them get away with what they're doing before people get upset enough to do something about it. They've lost that gamble already. It doesn't seem a matter of whether they'll pay a price, it's a matter of what the price will be. People are already steamed - inexplicably so to hear the treason lobby talk. As for putting the genie back in the bottle, it isn't a genie and there isn't a bottle to worry about. This is a matter of trade policy and the Constitution. And the Government can be made to abide by the Constitution even if Globalists find it a hassle to have to do so.. So, if you'll excuse a good quote, "Who's the we, sucka." If America says, granting your metaphor for the moment, that you will put the genie back, you will put the genie back. This nation is not a bunch of sheep that will be commanded. They are the boss that tells the politicians how to manage the boss's estate. If the servant gets out of line, he may find himself jobless or worse. You might mind yourself on that matter.
Agreed, but what seems to be missing on this thread is about how job losses are often a result of state government policies. Sure MI continues to hemorrhage jobs, (especially the cushy union ones) but so many of them are to other states rather other countries. Many businesses would rather stay with a higher educated and productive workforce here rather than going overseas if they can afford it.
MI has become much bluer in recent years as voters reward with the same incompetence that makes it a hostile place to do business - sure unions have issues that make them uncompetitive, but I'd venture to say high taxes, (small business, property, workmen's comp, etc.) are driving out the most jobs.
Others also fail to see that if some jobs don't go overseas their competition will, that is the nature of a free market. Better to gain payroll overseas than lose the company. These are the same people that bellyache (dem talking point) about 'quality' jobs not realizing that these jobs are created from free-market risk takers these days that are not likely to do so when they are taxed to death by all layers of government.
Until these punishing policies are reversed, the trends will continue.
