Don't forget those 5 million or so folks who work for Toyota, BMW, Seimans, Thomson CSF et al that are the benefactors of outsourcing from other countries

How many Toyota employee's were laid off in Japan when the American factories were built?...My guess none.

There's a huge difference between business expansion and job replacement.

That's simply not true. Expanding business creates new jobs that didn't exist before and old jobs that aren't needed disappear. Business expansion always eliminates some jobs while creating more new ones. Just think of all those people who worked in the IBM typewriter factory. All out of out work. No, but they have different and better jobs now.
