With All This Talk Of Creating Jobs In Usa, Why Is No Politician Proposing To Stop Outsourcing Jobs?

so that I can go to a Lowes, or Home depot or a Target or a Walmart without seeing everything “made in china”??? I think just having a goal that only half our things in stores saying made in china compare to 90% right now would be a good head start to creating jobs…dont you?
One of the big problems with our system, maybe the biggest, is that money has become way too important in politics. We no longer have elections, we have -auctions-, because the candidate who spends the most money gets elected about 95% of the time. Both parties have to do all they can to raise funds if they want to win, and they both get their money from the same sources, so you can’t really expect their agendas to be all that different.
Some politicians exploit issues for the benefit of their local constituents that they KNOW they can’t do anything about because the parties are not with them. For the Republicans it’s illegal immigration. For Democrats it’s job export. Both Republicans and Democrats love illegal immigrants, despite their rhetoric on the problem. And both Republicans and Democrats want bigger profits for their ’sponsors’, which includes ‘globalization’, the ability of corporations to roam the globe to find the cheapest labor and resources.
Remember when NAFTA passed? GHW Bush worked his whole 4 years to get NAFTA through and Republicans blamed Democrats for obstructing this great treaty. But when Clinton did succeed in getting it passed, suddenly Republicans decided it was a bad idea. The thing is, NAFTA, like most ‘globalization treaties’ made borders fall to capital while requiring labor to stay put. So it allowed large corporations to save money while not helping workers at all. In fact, NAFTA managed to lower workers’ wages and working conditions in all three countries, which is exactly what it was designed to do. BOTH parties favored it.
We were told we were moving to a ’service economy’ and later even a ‘data economy’. But we’ve had NAFTA and GATT long enough now to know that what this really means is that we’ll all be poorer, that workers have to accept a steady, slow decline in their standard of living so investors can double their money every few years. This is not ultimately sustainable, but capitalism has never been big on looking at the long term. 8^<
Outsourcing of labor is a big part of what globalism means for America, and GLOBALISM seems to be the one thing all the TOP Democrat and Republican politicians agree on whole-heartedly.
GHW Bush and Clinton muscled NAFTA through, with lots of help from Rahm Emanuel…
…then Bush II upheld it and strengthened it with SPP…
…then Obama claimed he wanted to revise NAFTA…
…then Obama was elected…
…then Obama appointed Rahm Emanuel…
…then Obama seemed to change his mind on NAFTA and GATT, and now he says they are a good thing…
… and now the Washington Post is talking about a North American currency http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/do…
and the entire international press is talking about a “new world financial order.”http://cleveland.indymedia.org/news/2009…http://www.time.com/time/magazine/articl…http://in.reuters.com/article/asiaCompan…
…Are you seeing any patterns emerge here?
They’re not Republicans or Democrats, they’re GLOBALISTS!
The reason no one is talking about it is because that’s the dirty little secret!http://www.infowars.com hell yea
Because my friend that would be too easy! Companies make more profit by outsourcing, so you got to get the politicians to change the laws, which is nearly going to be impossible since the companies will keep paying the politicians to keep these bad laws
It may be a juggernaut of economic forces already in place that cannot be reversed over night or even after many years- certainly tax credits should be given to corporation who keep jobs here.
You are now living INSIDE a global economic system– you need to train yourself to be able to work INSIDE such a system.
They love outsourcing. They outsource our money, our debt, and their responsibilities.
Yes I completely agree. I could write a book about this.
