More good business news on the home front

Article I saw this morning:

U.S. HAS BEEN THE #1 COUNTRY TO MOVE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY TO IN PAST 2 YEARS

"In a sharp reversal from years past – America is actually INSOURCING manufacturing jobs again. Companies are finding transportation and energy costs are climbing and costing them more money in the long run. As we have written – America has created nearly 500,000 jobs since January of 2010…stopping the hemorrhaging of job losses for blue collar workers.

Two-thirds of big US manufacturers have moved factories in the past two years, with the most popular destination being the US, according to a survey being released on Monday by Accenture, the consultants."


So that is good news.

Now, what else could and should happen?

Our Congress in Washington should propose and pass a law that all tax credits and deductions to companies to take manufacturing offshore should be rescinded and eliminated immediately.

I mean, really, does it make any sense to reward companies here in the States to take manufacturing offshore?

Of course not.

And the only reason those were created was because some corporate lobbyists proposed the idea to a or some people in Congress along with a check--or some checks--in "campaign contributions."

We should see to this as soon as possible.

Please take a moment and email your Congressional representatives in the Senate and House. It's too simple and makes far too much sense.
