I agree that this problem is a child of hundreds of different political fathers. Republicans, Democrats etc.
However, when we don't buy domestic that has a huge affect on businesses.
One line of reasoning I don't understand is "big business wants to hire us, they're just scared of taxes." I could understand small businesses feeling that way, but globalization has led to a lower bottom line for big business. Since the majority of them are in business SOLELY for profit, what do they care if they have to pay (random number alert) 6% more per worker due to taxes rather than the (random number alert) 4% it was before.
Does anyone know if jobs from overseas returned at a higher rate during President Bush's time? I know they haven't with the current President, and President Clinton had an international fire sale. Did President Bush's policies bring jobs back? If it didn't then should we repeat the same tactics now?
