Jobs will come to the USA, when it is cost effective. Complain all you want about the World economy, but the opposite would be far worse. The great depression that many compare to our current struggles. Not accurately by the way, was caused not by a stock market fall in 1929, rather the Smoot Hawley Trade laws in 1930-1. This raised our tariffs on other countries we considered unfair, so they raised theirs and so on and so on. World trade collapsed and most countries fell into depression. It was world wide depression. No, where we are competitive will will enjoy the jobs, just look at BMW, Mercedes, Honda, and Toyota, all have plants in the good ole USA. If all countries practiced what one of your readers suggest, we would lose those thousands of Jobs! On las t thought, loss of Jobs overseas is not the biggest reduction of American factory workers, it is automation.
