Well, it’s not like everybody woke up and suddenly decided to outsource Industry. Outsourced industry is a result of hostile business conditions that have systematically forced American Manufacturing to foreign (more importantly, less regulated and taxed) sources.

Chief among them are onerous EPA regulations, onerous Labor relations, high taxation and high cost of serviceable infrastructure. Mostly political reasons as higher government spending and associated costs just force higher and higher taxation.

Other reasons are now coming into play as our education system continues to dumb down the work force and make it even less competitive to foreign companies. This is egregious as it damages and erodes our future dominance or presence in global research.

We won’t educate our next generation properly and we’re too eager to educate foreign nationals that merely depart with the education and technology and contribute little to the U.S.

All this by design so that the rest of the world can catch up to western technological and living standards ostensibly for the greater global good — however only the U.S seems to be making this sacrifice (not that the sacrifice was a good idea anyway)

Then when you talk about and realize how IP, copyright and patent regulations are further crippling our competitiveness you start painting this picture that shows you how inept and inefficient liberal socialism is.

The left and the right continues to mortgage the future on all fronts of U.S Industry. They trade the more important competitiveness of tomorrow for the illusion of competitiveness of today just to maintain their constituency. Trading the future for today.

Now we should understand the saying: “A fish rots from the head down”.

Correct.

Guess who funded the lawsuits to "force" those regulations? It was tax-exempt "charitable" foundations belonging to the investors seeking to profit from moving production overseas, cloaking themselves in "reducing global poverty" while making an artificially inflated profit.

Other reasons are now coming into play as our education system continues to dumb down the work force

Guess who has funded the destruction of the next generation? It was Rockefeller who funded Kinsey and Carnegie and Ford who funded "educational reform."

onerous Labor relations,

I'd like to check you knowledge in this area:

What is the percentage of manufacturing workers in the USA are in a union?

  1. 10%
  2. 50%
  3. 70%
  4. almost all

Well stated.

100% correct!

Question: Why don't those who always say "we need to bring those jobs back home" understand this? These are the reasons why those jobs left in the first place!

Jesus Christ: You can’t impeach Him and He ain’t going to resign.
