". . .offshore production for home markets was not the reason for the capital flows[; i.e. real free trade. To wit:]. When Japanese and Germans invest in automobile plants in the US, it is to produce products for sale in US markets, not to displace car production in Japan and Germany by selling cars produced in the US in their home markets.

How many times has that point been made in these threads -- I have yet to receive an answer to my question BTW. If "free traders" point to insourcing to show the benefits of "free trade" why do our corporations say that they must move production off shore? Foreigners are moving here to produce and sell here. Go figure.
