Obama has done *** zero *** to improve this situation, but the problem goes back a lot further than that; and most everyone shares a piece of the blame.
Ross Perot was right - that ‘giant sucking sound’ of jobs being moved offshore that he tried to warn America about. Not sure that he, or anyone else, has a plan to solve that problem. but at least he was right in predicting it.
Companies, CEO’s and shareholders want to maximize profits and salaries for themselves, and consumers want to pay the absolute least they can for anything and everything..the solution? Move the jobs offshore and make everyone happy in the short run. Profits go up, costs to consumers go down - until everyone realizes that nobody has a job anymore and they can’t afford all that Chinese made crap anymore.
The mafia would be proud of jealous of our government..
