One Possible Solution To The American Economic Dilemma

Current Economics
There is no need to begin this article with addressing the many problems with our economic situation in America. Every person who has been in the position of being a consumer has felt the drastic downsizing of the dollar to a point of near evaporation. Those of us who can remember the "good old days" when the American dollar was at it's strongest point (post World War II era) between 1945 through the late 1960s also remember that period as a time when our economy was booming. There were plenty of jobs in a wide variety of industries for those seeking work. There was an abundance of tangible goods and services available in our society and the "middle class" seemed to be in a stable position.
Then something strange began to happen to our economy in the late 1960s. Since every event that occurs within a country is interconnected with its economy in some way, the effect that the Vietnam War had on Americans was no exception. That war polarized this country during that period and there were many heated discussions concerning right and wrong stances. Without dwelling on this subject I believe that history has proved who was correct.
This was also a period when new words and terms were being added to our vocabulary and ways of describing newly created situations and circumstances. Retrograde, shortages, odd-even gas lines, and Reganomics were a few terms created at that time. Since that time, the American economy has been in a downward spiral for a variety of reasons with the main culprit being greed. Many business and financial mistakes were made and the ripple effect has touched each and every one of us.
What Can Be Done To Reverse This Trend?
There was a time when countries worldwide sought premium American goods and services. I believe that American prominence and ingenuity can be restored with some major "tweaking", a fresh look at the current world situations business wise, and hard work and determination. We must take a look at all logical, workable solutions to this issue.
One Possible Solution To Ponder
Many American business have shifted their manufacturing and customer service sectors to "off-shore" countries to increase their profits. We all know how this has affected the job market here in America. Might I suggest a compromise at this point?
Since the original businesses were started here, why not return at least 50% of the work that is being farmed out offshore to American soil? The qualified workers are already in place, there could be tax incentives offered, the quality of products would increase, and customer service would greatly improve. Another advantage is that workers would have more dollars to put back into the economy here which would help to restore pride (in a good way) in our democratic society. With a 180° attitude shift in thinking and a few other areas, this could possibly be a balanced, win-win, workable solution for all concerned. The solution described here could be the step necessary to reverse our downward economic spiral.
Profits involve more that financial gain in the long run. This suggestion might be something worth pondering.
