I disagree.
The problem is, we are the country without a defensive trade policy.
China and Germany build up their industry.
We need to bring back American jobs. Now.
Not that easy as tweeking the trade policy.....
Yes they built up their industry...but not alone...there were many companies and American investors and investments along side them. Additionally a leadership who went out of their way to accomodate that.
Not so here in the USA....nor would there be with a Government bent on destroying and weakening our nation overall.
You’re dreaming if you think this Gov. is about creating an environment for business and industry....who are in fact who creates the jobs. Gov. never does.
Further with all the Unions etc. constantly begging for higher wages we have long lost our best and brightest workforce to other nations as well...and there is a huge “leak” of those moving into other nation states for that. I don’t blame them either.
MAny companies who close here offer their employees the opportunity to move to the country they’re re-locating the business to. Today ‘many’ are actually going where at one time it would have never been considered.
The fact is I can’t see the USA being much more than a service oriented country..as it is now.
Additionally...if Obamacaare goes thru you don’t think business and what industry is here won’t be hiring those coming in here from other nations ahead of those here? They get a Gov. subsidy for hiring them...plus they won’t have to insure them.
Be prepared to loose your job if someone from another country is here with Gov. invitation.
