How come we dont go back to manufacturing everything in America?
bring back jobs. bring back money flow into the economy. and a sense of hope.
why not go back to the years of america made products, used by americans? outsourcing is nothing but betraying one’s country, by giving jobs away. (besides im sick of having to deal with "customer support" from a country, i cant even half understand!)
why doesnt the gov’t do something about it?
so many jobs that can be done by an american, taken away to another country!
if we could bring back those jobs, we can get stricter with welfare and try and help the homeless and get them working again too.
i have heard all the excuses in the book. there is no excuse in betraying your country.

im pretty sure, there is some way to make that happen.
rather than have such a big old bailout, why not just bring those jobs back.
why must america look out for all other countries. the one problem with being a capitalist country is that you can legally betray your own country.(as you put it, which, nonetheless really is true).
it would be nice to restore some hope but our gov’t is too corporate. and corporate america, does not care for the people that MAKE america. they just care about greed.
its greed of the people and greed of the gov’t that is going to kill this country.
i do like the idea of taking the homeless and those on welfare and putting them into those jobs. chances are if you are in that position, you have no room to be picky.
maybe also, have some kinda treat or something, to get people motivated to work in factories.
its sad seeing american jobs being stolen by foreigners. and then what is left here, is being stolen by illegals.
where does it end?????
We really can’t afford to do that. The unions drove wages up so high that they put the factories out of business. Look at what they have done to the auto industry.
I would love to buy American, but I am not willing to pay for the outrageous pay for uneducated labor that our country demands.
The jobs were out sourced because the labor is too high here.
What are you expecting Big Brother to do? Force factories to build things no one can afford to buy?
I agree with you, we need high tariffs on foreign goods and we need most products sold in USA to be made in USA.
If he had high tariffs on foreign goods like foreign cars, I bet more and more Americans would buy the American product instead of the foreign product.
You can’t get decent labor in the US for any kind of a reasonable price to make anything affordable.
So you call, for example, DELL tech support and get somebody in India with a thick accent reading from a script. Let’s imagine you paid $500 for that computer you’re calling for tech support about setup or something (whose parts weren’t made here either, by the way…). Would it have been worth it to pay $1000 for that computer to have an American give you the run around? That’s probably what it would cost to have totally American tech support. How about $600? For the $100 difference, you could hire someone (local) to come answer your questions.
How then, could a company like DELL survive (who does provide lots of American jobs) if their computers were $1000 and the competition were selling the same thing for $500? They would crash and everybody would buy Toshiba.
It’s all about sacrifice which is often thankless, but completely necessary. The question to you then is, would you work for minimum wage for the rest of your life? Come on…it’ll be good for your country’s economy.
Yeah, me neither…but let’s imagine you’re such patriot, you would work for minimum wage so that companies could afford to manufacture here (which probably wouldn’t happen even a minimum wage…but it would be a lot closer than market labor rates now).
Let’s take a look again at the DELL outsourcing tech support referenced earlier. What if they went all American and their prices shot to $1000 as compared to Toshiba offering a competitive product at half price or $500. What would you buy when you’re standing there in the computer store? (REMEMBER – You’re only making minimum wage and can barely afford to eat!)
You’d obviously pick the $500 Toshiba over the $1000 DELL. That’s just common sense. Even with a big sign that said "100% Made In America", you’d still get that 1/2 price Toshiba laptop. You know it.
You could get stricter with welfare now. Make it a 1 year deal. If you haven’t found a job in a year – cut the welfare off and don’t let them apply again for another year. If we could get everyone on welfare to work every other year we’d save BILLIONS!
We could also legalize prostitution between consenting adults which would bring in TRILLIONS to the economy.
Legalizing marijuana (for growth and in-home use only) would cut down on crime and violence immensely because most of the violence comes from criminal organizations fighting over territory. It’s a PLANT – you can grow it in your house and it therefore can’t be taxed – so it wouldn’t greatly benefit the economy, but it would keep TRILLIONS of dollars from flowing overseas to criminal and terrorist organizations (like the poppy fields in Afghanistan).
If we could get Hollywood and the TV producers to glamorize the poor and hardworking lifestyle instead of Paris Hilton and the like, maybe the attitude of the country would change from instant gratification to hard work.
Anyway…I’m ranting.
I really hope you get a chance to study world economy.
