letter to Obama

1600 Pennsylvania Ave NWWashington, DC 20500
Dear Obama
Hello my name is Clifford Green and I am a student at High Tech High International, at my school we had a project to try and confront problems throughout the world and come up with solutions, that if applied have the potential of working.
It seems as if we have reached a new era in the way America functions economically with the rest of the world. With the American economy the way it is, it seems foolish to continue to lose so much money outsourcing while at the same time to have complete disregard for the work force of many of the countries we outsource to. Now that we are in an era of change and growth it only seems necessary and reasonable to better out relationship with many countries we trade with. It also seems necessary with the state of our economy to correct the way we manage our countries business and finances.
I propose on putting a trade embargo on many of the countries we outsources to until they create a decent minimum wage for their underpaid workers along with strict labor laws that will be reinforced. Although big businesses would be losing money, it would be extremely beneficial for the world. It would also make sense to provide surplus packages to the companies which agree to stop outsourcing until working conditions improve. Until these counties instate a minimum wage and strong labor laws, it will give America a chance to bring much of the business back to home, providing many American jobs and boosting our economy.
In order for America to remain on top serious changes must be made. America must rethink many of the fundamental system they use today in order to provide a foundation for the new era and successfully remain one of the world powers.

Sincerely,
Clifford Green
