Not gov’t prerogative to demand who PRIVATE SECTOR should hire, how much CEO pay is allowed, how many black Americans must be hired, etc.
If you can’t compete with foreign workers, that is your problem, not the private sector or the gov’t.
America is creating more millionaires every year than in any country. If you have brains, join that group instead of whining about protectionism and placing restriction on PRIVATE ENTERPRISE.
But if it is a gov’t job, paid by tax payers, THEN gov’t can dictate whom they can hire.
If the private sector is eating its seed corn by prioritizing short-term payroll savings over longer-term employee output value - and thereby undermining the middle class on which a stable successful nation and economy depend - then it is very much the business of government.
Certainly government must go beyond merely stopping the bleeding to ask if government itself is in some way inflicting the wound ... but stop the bleeding it must, notwithstanding any narrow-minded "free market"-uber-alles ideology.
