It is a global economy. To deny it means the death of creativity and technological advances in our country. Isolationism means making our dollars less valuable and giving us fewer choices of products. I digress from the subject....My apologies.
The single biggest reason for manufacturers leaving this nation is the tax monster we have created today (Lump all government interference into that...) and the quickest way to heal the wound that is cutting our throats is to kill the monster.
Technological advances? Oh, you mean all those nifty things like VCR's that we invented then gave to the Japanese...
Every person I ever heard advocate "global economy" is somehow involved in buying it there and selling it here.
So I guess we disagree.
