Over the course of the pass decade I have noticed a debate that occurs behind the curtain of present policy. Throughout history there has been benefits to both pathways of economic encouragement. For a major part of the western expansion of the U.S. the nation had a isolationist attitude. There are of course exceptions as with anything else specifically within the labor department. What I mean to target this question at specifically is trade and economic focus (internal or external).
As with my standard form I wish not to discuss my personal takes but encourage those to speak with their expertise, experience, or position. This is not the who is the loudest club. Both ideas have their benefits and drawbacks. The questions I ask to better focus my inquiry are as follows...
1. When we look at local industry both on the regional and national level: What is your stance on imported labor? (work visas, research positions, labor based immigration).
2. Equally, How do you feel about exporting U.S. labor? Would you want the U.S. to set up programs where people leave the country to work for periods of time in another country? (This can vary from high skill to lower skill labors.)
3. For the transfer of goods and services: Do you find it more beneficial for U.S. citizen to be the majority of consumption or would exporting our products to other countries be a better use of the economy?
4. Despite purchasing goods from outside the United States being Cheaper: Do you think the United States should incentivize purchasing products from the U.S. or outside the U.S. )In either case there is incentive in place.)
5. If you were to have trade outside the U.S. (this is a mandatory section of the prompt even if you wish there were no outside trade) what do you see to be the outliers for "good" trading partners? Is it local like one would see in NAFTA or hemispherical, continent based, or region based? Other options of course may be included.
This is to exercise thought and discuss position and theory not a den for political strife. I encourage all readers to answer one or as many prompts as desired and please feel free to be as detailed in your analysis or propositions as possible. Life is in the details and discussions are too.
Thank you for taking the time to read. I look forward to the responses.
