I guess whipping businesses until they pack up and leave wasn't so good an idea after all.

Maybe a 'Berlin Wall' would work...yup...need to try that.

"Get rid of government subsidies for offshore investment of US companies. OPIC is the first such program which should go but support of World Bank programs that subsidize the outflow of Capital would be another."

Thank you, harpseal.

All your points are excellent. Maybe I missed it but I will "add" that transfer of vital defense technology is often via H1B, etc. workers.

BTW, though I do not agree with the low opinion many have of Dr. Williams' column it's good to see a majority here would not agree with a very popular competitive neo-con site where it's all too common to blame "stupid and lazy" American workers. Some Indian posters there suggest Americans should work harder and smarter if they want their jobs back.

Boy, there are so many good posts here with links to facts -- not just BS like that other site.
