That should stimulate the economy! Are you telling me that this is what the US government has been doing for the last several months? Why is this not working? Why are US industries accelerating their factory closings and speeding up the discharging their remaining US employees as they move the remaining US jobs overseas. As soon as everybody is unemployed, the new applicants for unemployment benefits each month will reduce to acceptable levels, and then maybe the government labor department statisticians will proclaim success.

We most stop borrowing US dollars (back from foreign industrialized nations) to pay for government expenses.

Mass unemployment will foster mass civil unrest, crime, anger, riots, revolution, starvation, etc. The Great Depression unemployment rates were reported to be 25 or 30% and there was no revolution. As we increase our number of unemployed citizens each month and completely destroy our remaining jobs and any hope of any future employment, we will reach a point where the unemployed masses will want a change of government.

The US Businesses must relocate manufacturing plants out of this country and/or outsource labor expenditures to lower paying countries as much as possible if they want to satisfy the US consumer's demand for the lowest price possible for the US consumer's purchases or become bankrupt by paying decent wages to US citizens. If some business does not outsource their labor costs overseas, then their competitors will. The average US consumer will always buy a foreign made product rather than for a more expensive American made product if he has a choice. There is very little economic incentive for US citizen college students to major in any of the science or engineering fields at this time. I believe that most students today want to study business and/or economics in order to become one of the wealthy Wall Street (master criminal) business tycoons. No person in his or her right mind would major in science or engineering since the pay scale has eroded so much in the last few decades and the study is so demanding compared to several other less demanding and more economically rewarding fields of study. Asian countries are now outdistancing the USA by producing very large numbers of competent scientists and engineers that might be even more creative and more competent than the US educated scientists and engineers. According to the National Science Foundation and the National Society of Professional Engineers, only about 5% of the current college students in the USA studying for a degree in science, medicine, mathematics or engineering are US citizens. In the Asia the vast majority of the college students are majoring in science or engineering. We need to increase the percentage of USA citizen college students studying science and engineering from 5% to at least 80%, in order to emulate the economic industrial successes of the Asian countries. Only US import tariffs high enough to prohibit imported products from being imported and sold in the USA will create re-industrialization, stop the flow of title to privately owned US assets from the USA, re-create the value of the US dollar, and also create manufacturing jobs for US citizens. Yes the consumers will have to pay many times the current price of each item if these items if they are are made in the USA, but maybe this can avert a second American revolution. The new jobs will be overseas and paying only a tiny fraction of the wages that US citizens have previously enjoyed.
