Without outsourcing our standard of living in the US would be drastically lower.
I agree.
Without outsourcing, the government could not spend like crazy and print money like crazy, then tell us cattle there's no inflation because of all the imported cheap stuff.
You will note that the price of any goods and services produced domestically has gone through the roof: education, groceries, energy, housing, medical care, insurance, legal help--the cost of everything you need to live and breathe is sky high.
But you let yourselves be bribed with cheap electronic gizmos and shoddy clothing from abroad.
We're being sold out.
In the end, the handful at the top who are gaming the system will have it all while the rest of us will have let ourselves be sold out.
