Did anyone think that the exact same jobs that were lost would be recreated here?
You are making sense but that was not the message we heard during the election. We had this knight on a white horse who would descend and punish companies for sending jobs overseas. It was a staple of his campaign speeches. I knew full well at the time that there is nothing a president can do to stop companies from doing that but not one person questioned it. His tool supposedly was not give tax breaks to companies who ship jobs overseas. OK, where is the legislation? Instead, what we hear is a heartless, you-are-on-your-own Republican message.
