Maybe I am just a crazy person. I think my ideas are being suppressed and I will kill myself because of it. (Just kidding) We all here have great ideas that are being suppressed for good reasons and bad. I still think we are geting screwed when it comes to ideas. Just ask Michael Moore.
I know that many claim that outsourcing is here to stay. Maybe for many goods and services. I certainly do love those cheaps clothes and electronics I get from China. They sure are cheap. Well no wonder considering the pay they get over there in the developing and underdeveloped world.
Well here are some of my outlandish ideas.
Maybe we cannot force the Chinese to pay a minimum wage but maybe we can get a maximum wage. Lets peg it to 30-to-1 over lowest pay in the company for executive compensation. Close to 1970’s or 1960’s level. Presently its like 200 or 300 to 1.
One payer health system that will cut out the health insurance companies, may cause some more unemployment but overall will help business and people too.
Roll back outsourcing for customer service for banks, hotels and all other companies doing customer service outside the United States for in-state services. For example, banks outsource their customer service to India or Canada etc. They should be compelled to reduced this by 20% a year until it is 100% (This is also a national security issue in regards to banks and insurance companies.)
Start placing incremental quotas on manufactured goods. It does not have to be big. 1 percent or lower increments can be done without jeapardizing our trade agreements.
Once the economy booms back, pay down all the debt. No more bonds! Boy is that pie in the sky! I think this last point is important, because if the USA clears its debts we can be ready for the next downturn or better upturn. Well, maybe.
Gobama!
