It is easy to say invest in your (our) own country. Problem is that labor in our country is to expensive - partially due to our standard of living and partially to our laws requiring a certain level of minimum wage. (BTW - not complaining about either - just stating facts..) We can't have it both ways - if labor is cheaper overseas then companies are going to flock there to stay competitive - as they should.

Personally - as long as the customer service rep can speak fluent English (American version) then I'm ok. I think there should be some sort of language req that says something to the effect that the customer service rep has to be fluent in whatever language that person is providing customer service to.

that is about the biggest reason why this country is falling apart. go ahead keep cutting jobs and send them overseas, then when they arent selling their product, from people being unemployed or underemployed (not making a decent wage)they complain the economy is bad, well that exact mentality is whats creating the poor economy...if you pay people a fair wage (more than they need just to survive barely) they will go out and spend money on new product, and services. Where else are they capable to sell their product in China or India where they make $10 a day they cant afford extra non essential goods. Americans are one of the largest group of consumers out there, along with Japan, and that corporate greed that you seem so proudly to endorse has destroyed first the people now its finally catching up to the corporations.....

and as far as them making claims that the economy is picking up due to the fact that the DOW is again over 10k, is its going to be temporary, company stocks are rising due to the reduction in work force and hasn't caught up to them yet, (Again less people working = less people spending) and the stock market WILL start to decline again after the first of the year.

best way to repair this economy is either to shut down the borders or raise import taxes and also force international companies that want to sell their products in america it must be manufactured in America !

Before you think that all jobs are being sent overseas... I work for a Chinese company that has about 2500 of us working in the US and Canada. They've made a significant investment here, and my salary indeed gets taxed by the US gov't, my state gov't, etc.
