For thousands of years people have bought goods traded from other countries because they could be made cheaper or better there.

As soon as Americans are willing to either remove the minimum wage and the stronghold of unions, or be willing to pay a lot more for their goods that are currently made overseas, you will see more American-made products.
Some things are worth paying more for to get quality, no arguing that. Most people won't wear out tools that others who use them for their trade daily would.

Yup and a whole lot of people on this site seem to think it's dandy too.

- Fiat Banking - Your supply of capital is limited to whatever arbitrary limit those who have limitless currency resources allow.
- There is no 'law' - Only psychopaths who pervert just principals for their own enrichment while violently stealing your wealth, your future, and your life if need be.
It's a good thing the same way computers and automation are a good thing. Less people working, less people injured from work, less people worrying about work related abuse and harassment. The only thing "bad" about unemployment is not having money, if we can overcome that, we'd NEVER worry about jobs. If your sole goal is to have jobs, then innovation and automation should be crimes, because efficiency ALWAYS AND ONLY leads to less employment and ALWAYS makes labor, skill less valuable. In fact, so does procreation.
It's funny that people who are upset at unemployment or outsourcing seem to always blame corporate employers and the replacement employees, do they ever consider that procreation may be a problem too? If we had 1/3 or 1/2 less Americans today, would we have more or less consumption, inflation and unemployment? Somehow this is NEVER a problem. Because it's ok for a Americans who have children and want to feed their families, but not OK for corporations to feed their employees, or foreigners to want to feed their families.
who is forcing a business to outsource? Taxes? Wage limits? Or just foreigners with cheaper labor?
German quality kicks our ass seven days from Sunday though.
