Bring Jobs Back To America

America has become a dust bowl, reminiscent of John Steinbeck's "Grapes of Wrath" where farmers left their devastated drought stricken farms to look west for work.

Today's unemployment has reached a staggering 600,000 and growing. The meltdown on Wall Street and the inability of small businesses access to loans and capital has created the greatest disaster in history for everybody, not only the "little man", but the "fat cats" in their ivory castles as well.

Now is the time to look at the psyche of the American person, and acknowledge that they have become lazy and overly-particular about what type of job they want to do.

It is time to bring back jobs to America.

It is no longer viable to outsource jobs to other countries. All those manufacturing jobs that are outsourced in China and Korea and India, etc. should be brought back into this country.

Government/States should give incentives to companies to bring manufacturing back into the cities and rural areas, which will create jobs for thousands of people. It will in turn create revenue for the States in company taxes and individual taxes.

It will bring better supervision of the quality of products being manufactured, so that there are no crises of milk pollution to kill babies, lead poisoning of children, poor quality materials used in manufacturing.

The price of goods may go up some, but not enough that the savings overall in the creation of jobs would not offset the increases. Earning $10 an hour is still better than earning $0 an hour and that should still include benefits.

It is an indictment on us, the American people, that we have allowed ourselves to become complacent and have not had the will to do our own work. There is nothing wrong with working in a factory producing quality goods for our families.There is nothing wrong with an article having the label "Made in America".

Bring back our jobs, bring back our soldiers, bring back our dignity.

i think the only way to stop the offshoring of American jobs is to force these manufacturers offshore to adhere to our social and environmental policies. A minimum wage, Workers Comp. Healthcare. Brutal environmental laws like businesses here must obey. It will then make manufacturing over there so expensive that it will not be as palatable. Then, business will figure that they may as well come back here. This would apply to ANY item imported into the US.

Kudos to Conair for bringing jobs back to America. Thanks to them, my son has a job. Get smart, CEOs, our economy depends on jobs.

If only everyone in this county thought this way! We're on the fast track to self-destruction and all anyone cares about is how fast their pizza will arrive or what video game to play. We've become a nation of mindless followers...either unwilling or unable to realize the seriousness of this self imposed economic crisis. If someone doesn't initiate a plan soon to bring OUR jobs back to OUR country, there won't be an America anymore.....

Please repeal, revoke, regulate our suicidal trade policies. GET THE USA OUT OF NAFTA AND OUT OF THE WTO. DO NOT DO TRADE WITH ANY COUNTRY UNLESS IT BENEFITS THE AVERAGE AMERICAN AND DOES NO RAPE OUR COUNTRY OF TAXES OR JOBS. WE ARE IN AN ECONOMIC WAR AND WE NEED TO PUT THE AVERAGE AMERICAN AS TOP PRIORITY ON GOVERNMENT'S MUST DO TO SURVIVE LIST. WE CAN NOT REPLACE THE JOBS WE HAVE EXPORTED, WE MUST BRING THEM BACK.CUT THE APRON STRINGS AND "JUST SAY NO TO CHINA INDIA AND MEXICO" IMPEACH, RECALL BY PETITION EVERY POLITICIAN THAT DOES NOT AGREE. DESIGN LAWS THAT WOULD REQUIRE COPRORATION OWNERS TO HIRE MINIMUM 85% OF WORKERS IN THE USA, OR FORCE THEM TO LIVE OUTSIDE THE USA OR SELL THEIR COMPANIES. SEND A MESSAGE TO CORP. AMERICA SUPPORT YOUR COUNTRY OR GET OUT!WE ARE IN AN ECONOMIC WAR AND THE SURVIVAL OF OUR ECONOMY AND COUNTRY DEPEND UPON IMMEDIATE ACTION.
