It doesn't take a professor of economics to see that job outsourcing is a direct result of over taxation (on business), over government regulation, and the out and out greed of the idiots that pass these business ripping laws.
The only thing that government can do to improve the economy is get their hands out of our pockets and get out of the way of productive momentum. Reduce taxes on all of us, abolish the oppressive regulations, and learn to live on less in the government sector. Prices will go down, wages will go up, unemployment will go down, productivity will go up. Very simple, isn't it?
Now, where is my faculty position in the Econ department at Harvard?
