Job Crisis Solution
1) Outsourcing:
We need to start doing things ourselves again verses supporting slavery by outsourcing everything to countries who under pay their workers and use child labor to make a buck off of us. Saving a buck by getting something done cheaper is one thing, but not at the expense of creating and supporting slavery.
2) Illegals:
We need to crack down on businesses who use illegals to do work here in the US. I don't want to hear that "Illeagls do what we don't want to do" either. You tell that to the millions of people who are out of work right now. If we truly believe we're too good to do what the Illegals have been doing, then we deserve to not have a job.
3) Imports:
Stop importing anything that we have the ability to make or grow here in the USA. Anything else is fine.
We have oil; use it. And while we're using it, employ people to come up with alternatives.
4) US Troops:
We have over 370,000 troops currently deployed in over 150 countries. I say we bring them ALL home and station them at new bases (jobs) along the Mexican and Canadian borders. Turn them into demilitarized zones.
We have this mentality that we need to be everywhere on the planet in order to keep America safe, yet our southern border is a war zone. Maybe we should worry about "us" and not so much about "them"; you know, the ones hidding from us in caves.
If we beef up the military here at home, then you won't have to worry about people 10,000 miles away. Just "walk softly and carry a big stick" and when messed with...use the stick!
