There's only so much you can do to reduce sending jobs overseas.
businesses operate on bottom line.
Mass manufacturing is NOT ever going to come back to the US (not any 1st world countries for that matter).
Take that into consideration and adapt.

Only way to help this, is by giving incentives for employers to hire & keep employees here.
Give tax breaks, write-offs, or whatever.
I'm not for punishing companies when they're already struggling.

Maybe offer cheaper (if not free), and more classes on job training for adults.
I know city college is there, but often the cost of classes & books aren't affordable.
The number of classes offered are also limited.

I'd rather we spend more on our colleges, than high-schools.
Cut the senior year in high school.
Use those funds to pay for more college assistance & funding.

Refine all administrative costs & operations for all government agencies.
The less we spend on admin, the more we can spend on actual services provided.

With government, I'm always opposed to spending too much.
Keep overhead low and taxes low.
Keep regulation based on rewards and incentives.

Force banks who have taken bailout $$$, to lend back something to society (this is a problem now).

Most importantly fix judicial system, with regards to frivolous lawsuits.
Impose some accountability on plaintiffs.
If you sue and lose, you will automatically have to pay for all legal fees.
Impose caps for compensation.
They are driving up all insurance and legal fees to a level that's detrimental to the cost of doing business.
