Lou Dobbs and the other MSM Hacks and Congress critters who for the most part have never had to put up their own money and then work like hell to keep it have no idea what the real problem is in sending jobs overseas.
Labor is only a small part of the crisis. The EPA, EEOC, OSHA, Taxes, Federal regulations, Local regulations, Lawyers out of control, ecologists, make doing business in the United States a nightmare. The Disabilities act is an example, a noble effort but makes no sense when you look at it honestly but puts a huge burden on business. Regardless what the Liberals think, these businesses ain't going overseas just due to labor costs. Especially the Lawyer problem, loser pays would help a lot.
Lou and his Liberal pals are killing the goose that is laying the Golden Eggs.
Equality is great but not when we are all equally poor.
Some are good policy /civic standards of reasonable health/safety, and not dumping pollution/externality costs onto one's neighbors. Others like some you cite, are evidence of a degenerately litigious culture, where public employees aren't sufficiently accountable.
The solution is to allow any company that wants to, to move to China where there are no rules and regulations...As long as those companies are not allowed to sell their products back to the U.S., things will work out fine...
I support that 100 percent...
