Offshore outsourcing
I shudder to think of any politician fixing the problem of outsourcing. The porblem does need to be addressed but at the business level not government. I cite NAFTA as a prime example as to why the government needs to stay away from it. Signed into law by Pres. Clinton in 1994 and all the treaty did was open the door for the exodus of jobs to other countries. Nafta was supported by Dem and Rep both so I do not leave my hopes in either parties hands.

The best thing that the government can do is reduce taxes on the employees and the corporations. In effect this would give the current employees an immediate pay raise (more money in their pockets not taxed) and free up captitol for the growth of the corporations.

OFF TOPIC I am a proponent of a 12% flat tax federally and a 8% national sales tax to be paid by all people and corporations. The 8% stays in the states were collected.
