Wow, outsourcing a ton of jobs wasn’t good policy? Whodathunkit?
What is business supposed to do?
If you have an unqualified workforce, that's not highly motivated and tax policy dramatically reduces your return on investment why would a business invest here?
If you want prosperity and the opportunity for a better life you need to lay the ground work with a solid educational system, tax policy that rewards success and a culture that prides individual responsibility and hard work. We have been going in the opposite direction for a lot of years.
