I think we must fight this offshoring very hard. It is something fundamentally new that we have not seen before. If you don't believe this, then answer the question - what career can you educate yourself for that cannot be done more cheaply overseas? Steven Pearlstein of the Washington Post has proposed a 1% tariff on all goods and services coming into the United States. This will give the companies some additional financial consideration when they go to outsource jobs.

Better thought:

Coupons. When India/China/France, whoever, buys $1Bn in US-manufactured product, they get a coupon allowing them to sell $1Bn. of THEIR goods in USA.

That's called "fair."
