Exactly. China has taken our capitalism market without all the left wing Regs and taxes plus Obamacare. Those who think this country is going to bring back jobs are delusional. Obamacare is going to cost many more jobs or hours lost. Many business owners will cut work to 28 hours and pay the $2000 fine.

Two big reasons why the federal gov't isn't going to bring back jobs. 

First, there were never any jobs that were crated, airlifted, and unpacked in Nanking to start with.  A job in America happens when one American hires another American.  The Chinese have no part in it.  In the second place the federal gov't doesn't make jobs happen anywhere.  State run economies fail.  Conservatives are supposed to know that.  Anyone who thinks America should have more jobs can create jobs himself simply by hiring someone --and if they can't or won't they should at least stop whining about how someone else should do all the heavy lifting for them.  

The thing is that it's really not that hard to hire someone, and one of the easiest ways is to own a corporation and make it hire people.  Right now in the US there's about $18T worth of corporations that employ about 120M Americans.  That comes out to about $150K per job.  Imagine if the all the gold bugs on the FR dumped their gold & bought stocks --we'd end up with higher employment, plus a lot of freepers would be much better off.

Of course those corps would be able hire even more people if they didn't have to waste so much of their earnings paying federal import taxes...
