ARE OUTSOURCING AND POOR TRADE DEALS GOOD FOR AMERICA ?

Donald Trump has made outsourcing and poor trade deals important issues in his 2016 presidentail campaign. I have heard many agruments from our thoughtful economic scholars in favor of outsourcing and America's poor trade deals with China & Mexico. They say that slowing outsourcing and bringing companies back to America will throw the American economy into a recession. I can't see how employing Americans rather than people abroad or how keeping Ford and Carrier factories from leaving the country hurts America.

America has been losing companies and well paying jobs for years. The country's economy is not growing. There needs to be a point where Americans get smart and put America first. I  can't see how putting America first  will hurt it. If America continues sheading jobs and companies, we will be in big trouble in the years to come. In effect, Americans are running out of jobs that they can do, Policemen, fireman, doctors, nurses, plumbers and electricians  are jobs that must be done in the U.S., luckily. There are many college graduates that flock to these jobs not for safety but for security of having a job and a pension in the future. These jobs are not enough to drive the American economy, to keep Social security funded, to protect the world and to provide a tax base for future company bailouts.

For people with children in their college years, what are they suggesting for careers for their children ? What careers can  they suggest that will be here in America in ten years. Technology is important and it will drive any economy, but why aren't  many of our youth selecting tech for their careers.The fact that tech  jobs are constantly moved to other countries, make it very difficult for our youth to choose this as a career. America has the talent, but it is very hard for our youth to compete with workers in other countries that can do the job for 25% to 50% of the cost of a U.S. worker. Most American talent surpasses talent overseas. The questions are: how much more talented would a skilled American worker have to be to convince a company to pay 2 to 4 times more for a U.S. worker than a worker abroad? How much harder does the U.S. worker have to work to compete with workers abroad? U.S. workers work the most hours per year and they take the least vacation time than any other countries and that's because they are competing everyday. We need to train our youth, but for them to enter a field that is and will continue to be outsourced, they need to know that at one point we will level the playing field. You cannot ask American workers to become more skilled only to outsource their jobs 5 years later when they need to pay off their high student debts.

American workers may be expensive, but lets's look at the taxes they pay. Much of our tax money is used to protect the world and to save companies that employ the world. If the American worker disappears, the world will be in trouble. American workers are expensive, but what they make is spread to employ and protect the world. Look at many of the corporations that the U.S. taxpayer bailed out during the Great Recession. These companies employ people all over the world, sometimes at the expense of a U.S. worker. When these companies were in trouble, only one country came to their aid and that was the U.S. The U.S. helped many companies on the backs of the same taxpayers that continue to be outsourced today. If these companies were truely global, where was China and India during these bailouts? Why didn't they help to bailout the companies? They had a vested interest since many of these companies employ people in India and China. Only the U.S. taxpayer came to the aid of the companies in trouble, only to be cast to the side in favor of workers abroad.


We are at a crucial point in America. We are electing a new President. We have an opportunity for real change in America. Only Donald Trump talks about American jobs and the furture of America. He is the only candidate to name companies like Ford, Carrier and Disney. No other candidate will do that because they cannot offend the entities that feed their compaigns. Most of the issues that are discussed by Democrates and Republicans today, were first brought to the discussion table by Trump. I cannot guarantee that Trump will be able to bring back every job or company from abroad. I don't even know if this is always in the best interst of our economy. I do know that if an American company tries to leave for Mexico, only one candidate will call the company and hold them accountable. That candidate is Trump.  He has been a true leader during this campaign and he will be a Great American President. Vote for Trump because he will make the phone call!!!!!!!
