5. We have been OUTSOURCING since WW II in a big way
The day someone went out and bought the 1st Volkswagen,
some jobs were outsourced to Germany. Every Toyota, every
Sony product, every clothing made in China, ad nauseum
causes jobs exported to other countries.

There is no way to stop outsourcing so long as products
can be bought cheaper from abroad. And that goes for hard
products and service products such as software.

The ONLY way to stop all outsourcing is to STOP TRADING
with other countries. But EVERY time that has been tried,
the economy tanked big time.

Unfortunately we import more than we export, which is why
the dollar is falling. As the dollar gets cheaper, local
products become more competitive with imported products
which in turn helps create jobs here.
