Every job I have ever held is dependent on foreign trade.

Are you aware that Airbus (not my favorite company in the world) sources 46% of the A380s components from the USA? That Mittal Steel (India) has been buying up American mills left and right? Are you also aware that the main source of decline for manufacturing jobs WORLDWIDE has been automation, NOT "outsourcing?"

Is that by cost, weight, or volume?
