I suggest you change the rules so that these international companies start re-shoring. To do this, merely dictate that any company with less than 75% of its staff in the US will not get preferential treatment for US government contracts, grants, subsidies, or bailouts. These huge multi-nationals will re-shore in a heartbeat so as not to lose out on their easy money government contracts.
Why do I bring this up? I work for a large multi-national who has no problem off-shoring American white-collar jobs in the tech industry to foreign labor.
And yet, they have huge government contracts, and have received money from the government, as well as subsidies, tax breaks, etc. Take away the incentives and it comes down to money. And almost guaranteed contracts incentivizes them to comply. You could even push this policy further by denying patent applications for businesses w/ less than 75% labor in the US. That would really push these companies back. Assuming, of course, the US wants to have its citizens employed in jobs that pay taxes.

Agreed~
I agree with you 100%.
Companies who off-shore jobs should NOT be considered for government contracts. At a minimum, those companies should be looked at in an unfavorable manner because of their US staffing actions.
110% agreement.. we not only lose Jobs, but the Taxes that come from those jobs..
I agree with you completely on this one. Some may call it socialism to regulate business in this way, but I think it is common sense. Why reward companies with government contracts who employ anyone other than US workers.
I noticed you voted no on my idea in catagory #5 with about 60 votes positive to have a scientific based investigation into 911. I was wondering if you had a paticular reason your voted no, or you just don't think it is a priority. Just curious.
Thanks for your response comment politics. This has been a positive dialague and I want to let you know it respect your views and understand your beliefs. I am not into consprircy theories at all. I don't know who did it, but there is very strong scientic evidence of exlposives involved with the collaps of the the 3 high rise buildings on 911, WTC1, 2, and 7. Recently Fox News 26 in Fresno interviewed Richard Gage, AIA, and took him very seriously about this. All I ask is that you spend 7 minutes and watch this interview. Go to architects and engineers for 911 truth and watch. 7 minutes politics. Let me know what you think. Thanks again. Steve Walker
