I would like to see the fortune telling license. Outsourcing is a fact of life that will not go away. Americans can refuse to do business with companies which outsource to third world, low-wage countries, but will have precious choices as consumers. Crunch time will come when US consumers don't have the collective retail and earning power to determine the shape and size or nature of products.
Market truths do not always make sound public policy, because there IS a higher moral value to US economic health than there is to Chinese or Indian.

We're actually fortunate that you don't currently possess that power. You would destroy this country for your own personal gains.

Not to mention the national security concerns. As more and more of our industrial capacity moves to the other hemisphere, does anyone seriously believe that China will not eventually say "Thank you very much for all of those factories that your corporations built for us...they don't belong to you anymore. Oh, and if you even think about sending over any carrier battle groups within striking range of our countries, we will nuke you back to the stone age."
