There is also the conservative option of lowering taxes on US businesses to make it more attractive to stay state side.
That option has not worked so far, why would you expect it to suddenly start doing so now? Overall businesses are paying historically low tax rates, and they still send jobs overseas.
There's always the possibility lower wages might start looking comparatively good to people without jobs at all. And with a little help from the gov't some of the jobs might stay. Or we can spend more on student loans so people can get degrees to be massage therapists (Stevens Henager or Apollo College!). I'm sure that economic payoff should be kicking in any time. kj.
