Stranglely, the two major things you bring up can both be linked to economic reasons.
The difficulty starting a new business is because of the recession in the economy, and because of the lack of new markets for people to create businesses.
The moving jobs overseas is a result of free trade. Economics says that if someone is inefficient at producing something, they should produce something else. In the end, the quality of life in the nation goes up as the nation can import at a lower price than it could produce.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
