So if nobody has any idea how to make it happen, all you're left with is theory and if you're not in the business of debating theory, you might as well not debate anything. In fact, theory is all of us non politicians have because we don't have the power to do anything.

yes, that latter part is all theory. we don't currently have any mechanism to make the corporations sacrifice profits in order to get the unemployment to go down.

the conservative movement in particular lacks the tools to influence corporations. however, the liberals are just as helpless, as evidenced by the recent health care bill debacle.
I disagree, the conservatives DO have the power, it's just that most of them are corporate bosses.

let's see, how could one make the corporations do something for the good of the country, and against the directive to maximise shareholder value?
Oh, it would be political suicide, I'm just saying if one were to do that with the promise of tax credits or cash incentives, then we could do away with outsourcing.
