Is the Federal Government directly responsible for America's unemployment rate?

Asked by john65pennington (29258points) October 29th, 2011

See if you agree or disagree with my theory. All of us are familiar with the high unemployment rate in America. Here is a point of view as to why we have come to this level and who is responsible. For the last several years, factories have relocated either in Mexico, China, or other countries for their cheap labor. When the factories moved out of America, this left numerous employees out in the cold. Question: should the Federal Government have stopped these factories from leaving America? Should the Federal Government have imposed an embargo on these factories and goods made in other countries and imported back to America? I can only see this as the fault of our Federal Government and its leaders as just one of the reasons for America’s high employment rate. Is there an answer to this problem. No. Why? Because it was all about greed and lining someones pockets at the mercy of the workers, who are now unemployed. And, lets not overlook unions in America. Some of their demands put a strain on the factories and thus the exit from America.

I believe America has hit its highpoint and now the only way is in reverse to a lifestyle so many of us remember of years ago, that was anything but comfortable.

Your opinion is appreciated. jp
