re: #201 ludwigvanquixote

I was being fair when I said that both parties are to blame. However the whole ship your job overseas thing was created by a certain corporate model that looked more to quarterly statements than yearly ones.

The GOP is, was, and has been, the champion of the corporations.

I’ve heard it said that much of the issue with that has been that corporations are often owned these days by large institutional investors. Such other organizations are mostly based on short term profits. To have prevented this trend by regulation would have been very hard, and nobody really understood what it meant before it happened.
