Conservatives MORE THAN anyone, then, should take joblessness by those who want to work to be a great problem, if not a great tragedy. (Liberals should be rejoicing that the unemployed must temporarily feed at the public trough, in hopes that they get addicted to "work-free" money.)
Conservatives need to demand that the money going to a new drug entitlement instead go to strengthen our military and guard our borders. While new border guards would be new government employees, they are simply necessary. They would provide jobs and security.
Conservatives also need to agitate for higher tariffs on ALL goods entering this country. This income should be used to reduce taxation, and it would protect American jobs by making the relative costs of American goods less expensive. This would increase orders for goods made by Americans.
Also, any company that farms American jobs overseas SHOULD lose tax exemptions for all aspects of that part of their business. Why should my government give incentives for Americans to lose their jobs?
Finally, we should, for long-term security interests, protect all of our heavy industry. God forbid that a high intensity world war would come about, but if it does we need our own heavy steel, our own shipbuilding, our own aviation, and our own technology. We don't need to be dependent on some foreign country for these kinds of production.
All of the above will increase American jobs.
Nope. All of the above would only put many American companies out of business. If you cannot afford to pay the workforce, you will not be in business, end of story. Your line should read,
"All of the above will greatly increase the size of government and socialize our industry."
