Once we become dependent on these "low priced goods", and the manufacturers thereof move to foreign countries, which may or may not be our "friends", and the skills here lost, why should the prices stay low?

If their prices rise too high, they will lose the manufacturing jobs they gained.

Investing in foreign enrichment instead of the enrichment of you own fellow countrymen means the degradation of the opportunities of your fellow countrymen.

Do you feel the same way about foreigners who invest in the US instead of their own country? Are they enriching the US and degrading the opportunity of their fellow countrymen?

And if the manufacturing capability is there and not here, how exactly will they lose the jobs?

I don't feel anything about it, but I think they should invest in their own country. And their investment in the US is not good fro the US. Yes, they are enriching themselves at the expense of fellow countrymen, and doing America no good.

What will the situation be, I wonder, when a critical mass of this country is owned by foreign powers.
