If the GOP had the right idea, they'd be talking about bringing manufacturing jobs home.
They are right that no stimulous package will work. Why not? Because they sent all the fucking jobs overseas!!! So people lost their jobs, are foreclosing on their homes, unemployment is going high, inflation, trade deficits, etc.
So as long as they keep lowering our wages and turning us into a 100% service industry country, we'll never fix what is wrong.
Want to bring manufacturing jobs home?
That's easy... strip the cost of US manufacturing of untenable leftist policy costs... and be prepared to work for .5cents a week.
Ya see dumbass, that's the goin' rate...
Here... look at it this way...
Let's say you have one of those high paying manufacturing jobs which require great SKILL... well things go along great until one day when you walk onto the floor and you find that the gal that holds down your spot in the shift ahead of yours has been replaced by a PARROT...
Well you spend a few terrorfied minutes, worried that your jobs on the chopping block when you union shop forman comes along and tells ya not to worry... you're not going anywhere because you are HIGHLY SKILLED... why you'll be making TWICE as much as the parrot... YOU'LL be getting TWO BAGS of bird seed....
Now what do you do? Do ya demand that the parrot, which is doing your job just as well as you do, be canned and further demand that you be paid MORE to do the same job that a parrot can do, than would the parrot?
Well that's what you're asking for now... The manufacturing job enjoyed high legacy wages... from when the job represented a something which required above average skill and talent. Not so anymore skippy. Technology has rolled on and those jobs just don't rate the kind of coin they used to; and when you add the INCREDIBLE REGULATORY COSTS heaped upon the manufacturer in the US... it doesn't balance. So they can either stay here and go bankrupt or they can go off shore and still earn a fine living.
Of course, if you'd like to work for sub-standard wages and demand that your leftist legislature SLASH regulatory liabilities... you'll bring those manufacturing jobs RIGHT BACK...
Good luck with that...
