So would you prefer Airbus to outsource to India and later sell Airbusses to airlines in India?

I don't have my ping list available. So I can't send out a ping.

Yes, it does...and it will continue until Americans realize that they can't expect to be paid way far above global market wages.

There's no reason Boeing should have to try to sell products that are far more expensive than competitors' just because Indians are willing to get educated and work for less than spoiled Americans. All that adamantly staying onshore does is put US companies out of business when they can't compete with those who do go to the best value in labor.

This is the second part of the anti-immigration fight...recognition that Americans will have to boost their productivity, creativity, efficiency, etc., or reduce wages to compete with countries that have lower wage expectations and other considerations (taxes, etc.)

Right! Let's keep those damn Indians locked into poverty and unrest. How dare we create more consumers around the world with demand for our goods and services!

When manufacturing moved the US from other nations, that was OK. Now that the shoe is on the other foot.....WAAAAGH!
