Those free traders argue that we've got many times more invested in Europe that Asia. True. But we are allowed to market to European citizens, that's why the factories are there; we don't have to export the goods and services back to the U.S. to sell. We have factories here for our domestic market.
We also market goods to India and China.
I interpret oursourcing to mean moving jobs to India, for example, then importing the work performed there whether the work is services or goods.
That's what Siemen's did to the German workers. Why didn't they keep all their manufacturing in Germany? Because they got better, cheaper and less union filled jobs here.

We also market goods to India and China.Not Harley-Davidsons. Not "Big Three," in ANY measurable fashion.
Not food products.
Got some other ideas?
