The "conservatives" are taking away the rice bowl of millions of lower capability/capacity (trying to be nice) Americans by offshoring production. They, along with the bought off corrupt congress(fascism), are creating social and economic chaos that is invisible to the gated community crowd. So any cost benefit, which is suspect anyway, is wiped out because the taxpayer is on the hook for all that added costs of an idled work force. Not to mention we need an industrial base to support out military.
