Who is "giving away jobs"? Politicians are not in control of this. In our capitalist system, unless there is specific regulation to protect jobs (something that the repubs are completely against), the jobs will go where the low cost labor is. The only way to bring jobs back that have left for economic reasons is to either: 1) lower wages/benefits; 2) install protectionist tariffs or negotiate tit-for-tat trade restrictions with other countries (these are highly anti-conservative policies and can cause a lot of collateral economic damage also). If that is unfeasible then it is necessary to look for opportunities to create jobs that are more economically suited to our own economy.
Never thought it would be that easy to make a Republican out of a life long Democrat. Admiring the capitalist system, sending jobs to where costs are low and advocating lower wages. Now, if Obama came out tomorrow and started bashing businesses who send Jobs overseas the davester and stevie crowd would quickly fall in line and start attacking the greedy capitalists who destroy jobs with no regard to human cost.
