Stop outsourcing jobs!



High-paying manufacturing jobs is what raises a country's standard of living, and GDP. (Just look at China). We all can't be selling insurance to one another, or base our economy on just low-paying retail, fast food, service, or military jobs, because eventually even those jobs will dry up, when no one has the purchasing power to afford to buy a new home, mortgage, car payments, etc. Manufacturing employment is what made America the iindustrial power it once was, back in the 50's and 60's for example;
When we were exporting more goods then we were importing. Now, it is quite a different story however, where we currently have the largest trade and budget deficit in our history; Much of it caused by outsourcing, and manufacturing jobs going overseas. There are some good people in congress who want to change that. And some bad one's, who want to block their efforts...
