Tonight President Obama articulated in his State of the Union speech what is at stake: a global fight for jobs. Outsourcing American jobs by American companies for over 2 decades has created a tipping point for the American middle class. In order to restore American prosperity, jobs must be created here. That's not to say that no American company should hire employees overseas - that would be absurd. But jobs that can be done in America, and be done cost competitively, should be done in America. Do we really need H&R Block accountants abroad doing our taxes? Or radiologists looking at our X-rays? Or American Express credit card service representatives? American wages are competitive with those abroad.
It is time for American companies to stop taking the easy road and to start looking in their own backyard for employees.
