I see I’ve illustrated my point nicely.

“I see I’ve illustrated my point nicely.”

Yep, in your mind you’ve successfully proved an apple is an orange. Congrats.

For years free traders here have cheered offshoring. Not every single one, (a nod to your parsing), but most. The cheering involved 2 points, #1 - It would free Americans to do more “important” service and knowledge based jobs. #2 - It would build up foreign markets so that we could sell our services and knowledge.

Yes, I know that the regulatory and tax environment is a factor, but rather than flog Republicans to take that into account, free traders took the approach that cutting costs along with #1 and #2 above were preferable to fighting to keep a manufacturing base in America.

How’s that working out for us?
