So the unemployment rate is currently 10.2%. President Obama wants a "job summit" with big businesses. Keep in mind how this was inherited from the previous administration but as I've said many times it's up to the President to fix it. It's a very simple idea but here is what I feel should be done:
a) fine businesses a certain amount when they send jobs overseas that can be done in America for fair wages. I say for fair wages because we know why businesses send jobs overseas cause of cheap labor. Make the fines significant enough for businesses
b) reward businesses for keeping jobs in the U.S. I know I should might get some words for that but if businesses are punished for losing jobs they should be rewarded for gaining jobs.
That's how I feel will fix it.

Just checking; You do, of course always look for the "Made in the USA" label in the products you purchase, right?
You don't buy cheap Chinese stuff from Walmart or KMart, right?
The extra cost is okay with you because you know you are supporting your fellow American workers, right?
I have to ask these questions. I wouldn't want to accuse you of hypocrisy.
If we have to penalize and reward companies, it goes to follow that we need to do the same for consumers. If we go by your rules, there should be a task force to audit yours and everyone else's property and give out rewards for American-made products and penalties for foreign-made products.
After all, we are the one's responsible, not the companies. If we insist on paying the lowest prices, it only seems fair that companies, in order to give us what we want have to take measures accordingly.
