Outsourcing and offshoring of work does help corporate earnings, and sometimes stock prices, and that's it. There is no other benefit to us. To China, yes. To India, yes. To Mexico, yes. To us, no.

To us, no.

Actually, we do get somewhat lower prices, but considering the labor we give up in return, I'm not sure that the difference is made up.

Not so. I picked up a decent and cheap hawaian style polo shirt at Walmart the other day for $11, not made in the USA.

If it was made here, it would almost certainly cost more than $1.

I benefitted.
