These jobs WILL NOT GET DONE at higher prices, because they are not competitive at higher labor prices. They are not worth the investment.
So the accurate way to look at this---regardless of the political spin---is that we are in a restructuring economy in which many of the jobs no longer are valued as they used to be. We can either export them at cheap wages, or watch their parent companies disappear entirely. There is no other alternative. NO ONE is going to pay $80,000 a year for many of these jobs, period.
This is why the practice needs to be illegal: Once there are no longer any engineering jobs in the US, the technological leaders will be those to whom the jobs are outsourced. Once that becomes the "status quo", the United States will get all of its technological products from overseas, including the weapon systems used by the Armed Forces. Those to whom we outsource will not be providing the US with "top of the line" hardware, as that will be reserved for their own use.
Catch the drift? The end of the United States as the world's technological leader is rapidly approaching. So is its status as the ultimate world power. So is you standard of living. This may take a few years, but there is no other ending possible. By the way, this is the plan your leaders have for you.
