RE :”It’s still my opinion that moving most of our manufacturing offshore was a suicide move. Number one, it cut good paying jobs out from under the U.S. public, and it gave China the income stream to grow into a bonafied global threat’

The companies did that because regardless of what the progressives claim, Washington puts voters demands ahead of job-creating-businesses by driving up expenses endlessly and companies out (look at lawsuits) .

In theory trade was supposed to create new jobs here but the China (PRC) of today is not the China of 1980. This China has a educated workforce that learns english and the government makes sure the country is long term business friendly(but not friendly to the individual citizen) , something you wont see in a democracy.

They cant vote for jobs, vote for raises, vote for health care....etc.

I don’t disagree with that, but I do think our focus should be repatriating jobs. We have 10% of our work force out of jobs, and we still bring in illegals and ship jobs off shore.

If this isn’t a big F U to the U.S. Citizen, I don’t know what would be.
