Suddenly Democrats are the ones who voted for outsourcing?? I have difficult recalling specific legislation that effect but I did find something interesting.
Even the CBO Says Tax Reform Bill Will Incentivize Corporate Offshoring
And it's no different than the tax cuts given to outsourcing companies repeatedly for the last twenty years.
And
every effort that has been made to overturn these measures fails in Congress, so the outsourcers continually get rewarded, again and again.
But all that having been said, there is something that both Democrats and Republicans have failed to address, technological unemployment.
Artificial intelligence and robotics are a guarantee that low skilled blue collar factory jobs are never coming back because even if manufacturing of those types of goods return here, the factories will be highly automated.
Blue collar workers MUST retrain no matter what and no matter who controls the government.
Jobs that return here will not resemble smokestacks and sweatshops. That era has drawn to a close over here a long time ago and it is even drawing to a close in some third world countries.
Whoever sincerely wants manufacturing jobs to return to the heartland will have to have the stomach and the political will to raise the revenue needed to help train former blue collar workers for an entirely new environment, and entirely new skill sets.
