>> american companies exporting JOBs, and increasingly high value jobs, like SW and HW development, to asia... You really have this concept down wrong. It isn't American companies "exporting jobs". It is American companies trying to compete in a global economy. The tax, regulatory, and union environment in the U.S. simply makes it impossible for American companies to compete if they build products here. We discussed this ad nauseum over the last couple days. The only way you fix that and avoid the pitfalls of protectionism is with tax incentives and mitigating the power of unions when there is an opportunity to do so (something this president certainly can't be accused of).
