But do you comprehend the possibility that some care not only about their own individual interest? This is the secret of the freetraders - for them their country can go to hell so long as they make a few dollars in profit.
Certainly do. I'm not in any position to affect the levers of power, however. So the best I can offer is to work with one man, a neighbor so to speak, to explore his options of what may best put food on the table for his family next week, next year, and five years from now.

I enjoy chewing the fat with my friends about the state of the world, lamenting the deplorable conditions of America, and hurling invective at those who bring down the nation. At the end of the day however, action is all that leaves tracks in history. As someone with limited time, and even less access to political power, the action I can meaningfully offer is simply leading by example, and offering to share what I know with others in the hope that it might help them avoid the same learning curve I went through. I have neither the expertise nor experience to know what would really work in the halls of power, so I can't really offer anything realistic in terms of discussing general policies that might help solve the offshoring issue, and leave that instead to others on this thread who follow the issue far more closely than I do.
