Well, I suppose one particularly nasty way to solve the problem is to reintroduce tariffs on foreign products and reduce the minimum wage. Thusly more people in the US would be employed in those menial jobs that we've been shipping overseas all these years. I'm not really in favor of this, but alternate solutions aren't presenting themselves. At least positive solutions; I sort of eliminate ideas like "execute all the poor and homeless" as bad PR.
