That has been the traditional view.

Export jobs, free up workers.

That is turning out to be the opposite of reality. What is actually happening is by exporting jobs, we are simply increasing unemployment which drives voters to Democrats.

We must stop. Bring back US jobs.

Now.

How do we bring back jobs in a global economy. An employee in China is still an employee of a US company, and at less 95% of the cost, producing goods at a cost savings to the American consumer. Our problem is that in the actual factories where American employees work, the unions increase production costs about 15-20%, for example: In the Northern States where GM, Ford, Dodge produce Union made goods, a comparable vehicle produced in the South for Toyota, Honda, VW, or MB can produce a vehicle with the same labor being about 14 dollars per hour less in wages, meaning that they save that amount times 300 hours in production costs (This makes production of MB or VW cheaper in the US than in Germany/Europe). Americans are employed by foreign ownership just as you advocate is wrong for the USA to employ foreign workers.

You want to know the funny thing about this comparison, these foreign producers sill import vehicles that cost more overseas to produce and they still beat the Northern Auto producers; and the vehicles they product in North America's southern states free of the Unions provide them additional profits because they only meet the Union Market Place price for comparable vehicles, e.g., they could sell their products for about $1,800 less per vehicle but instead of killing the Unions they just reap a huge profit because of the Unions - they profit. This is the crux of the American problem - UNIONS suck the life out of the Company.
