With the unemployment rate at around 8%, I'd say yes.

Is he curbing outsourcing? Keeping jobs in the U.S. is all well and good, but it's probably not a good idea to subsidize industries that are dying anyway. Total oversimplification: the U.S. is good at producing computer equipment and airplanes. It's not really very good at producing cars or TVs. Korea, on the other hand, is good at producing TVs and Japan is good at producing cars. It's probably better for the U.S. to let Japan make the cars, let Korea make the TVs, and let us concentrate on the things we're good at (computers and airplanes).

I'm all for keeping jobs here so long as it is not requiring subsidies (getting out of NAFTA and similar 'free trade' agreements that are anything but would be a good start). However, the asinine idea that the ecofascists are pushing of 'carbon credits' will make up for any effort made to keep jobs here. Why should companies stay here (or even stay in business for that matter) when they'll have what amounts to an additional tax in the form of those carbon credits. Move offshore and the problem is solved, no need to pay carbon credits. But that is government's approach to everything, if it works regulate it, if it still works, tax it until it doesn't. Some regulation and tax is necessary but what we are seeing these days is approaching the level of insanity.

I won't be able to tell you until I can see what he is actually proposing and what strings will be attached to any such efforts. Depending on how it's implemented, it could be brilliant or tragic. At this point, as far as I have heard it's simply a talking point with no actual legislation to read. I know he has asked OMB to curb or limit outsourcing. It could be a start if it's followed through.
