The prize (White House)

We have three solid leaders currently running for president. All three are good decent hard working Americans that want to serve the country. The process we put them though to apply for the job is very expensive, difficult, an intense. Imagine trying to apply for a job an being interviewed by the entire United States of America. YIKES! It seems to me that we really need to find out more about there skill set instead of where they go to church and all the other silly things that the media seem focus on. Lets choose a president that is hard working, smart, flexible, charismatic, and well spoken. Most of all the person who takes the Office Of The President has to be able to see many shades of gray.

Good luck Mr. OR Mrs. President.

International Prevailing Wage.

A Simple Idea.

Basic problem

• Jobs are going overseas
• Workers overseas are not being paid at the same level as Americans.

Why not implement an international prevailing wage for all companies that choose to send work overseas. The overseas worker would be paid at the same level as an American. If companies are required to pay overseas workers at a rate comparable to current American wages it would level the playing field.

Examples of local implementation's of a prevailing wage.

The details need to be hammered out! Is the concept any good? Is it protectionist?
