Agree completely.
We can restore the import tariffs on goods and bring back manufacturing.
I'm not sure how we stop the offshoring of tech labor and services.
- You can stop or cut back the H1B's. That will create immediate demand for jobs that need to be in the U.S. It will also hamper efforts to train overseas workers.
- You can probably put a tarriff on overseas services. You'll probably catch more than just IT labor, but I think that's what we have to do.
- You can pass draconian penalties against allowing data on US customers outside of the US. If they don't get the data, that hampers them in development.
You can pass draconian penalties against allowing data on US customers outside of the US. that's exactly correct.
Want to hear something sick? The US government has been at times sending US citizens data to India in some of their efforts. I work here, seen it personally. Also, get this, US has used companies to take federal jobs - and give them to H1-b's. Again, I live and have seen it done at GSA, Federal Reserve, and other agencies.
