My point is that if we ship a large number of jobs overseas and flood our workforce with enough cheap labor to drive down salaries and the standard of living, angry, uninformed voters are going to clamor for more socialism. It happens in ever case. All I’m saying is that we need to keep this in mind and balance the number of jobs we are outsourcing. Voluntarily, not through government edict. Right now, we haven’t experienced national wage deflation except in pockets of America. If we keep up at the pace we’re going, though, it will happen. I’m just trying to point out that there are consequences that we are all going to have to pay if enough uninformed people get behind some “populist” to counteract these policies.
Fair enough. The only question I have is who is going to voluntarily limit outsourcing? I think that the time may be close to being able to market “Made in the USA” again.
