I think the government should spend money on re-training programs for workers who lose jobs to overseas labor. So workers could move into more advanced jobs that are less under threat from overseas. They could subsidize the cost if not pay it in full. It would be a better use of taxpayer money than all those handouts to farmers, and certainly cost less than protectionist tariffs. (see steel workers)
Thats my idea, anyhow.
