What, companies charge what the need to in order to make a profit, that's business, with the savings from shipping the jobs overseas they are not lowering their prices, they are putting the profits in their pocket.

Shouldn't that then open up the opportunity for a competiting company to pass on the savings to customers, and thus force the "greedy" company to adjust their prices in order to stay competitive?

I agree with the competition part and prices, but what most don't see is that the competition is amongst only a few players who are left in the industry, they can pretty much manipulate the price they want when they want. There is no real competition anymore, that's why the oil businesses keep screwing us at the pump when there is a glut of oil.
