We are on a path of non competitiveness in tax policy, labor policy, environmental policy, litigation policy, and education policy. Offshoring is a symptom not the cause of problems. The cost of labor and investing have risen dramatically with rat control. If left with reasonable government influence, the US workforce is the most productive in the world. Unfortunately, we are headed for Draconian influence.

I disagree with your premise. In my experiences regarding offshoring, it is driven by corporate bean-counters trying to lower short-term costs. Period. And in the two instances I have direct experince with, it did not go terribly well. But as long as it saves a few bucks on the bottom line, who cares if quality suffers?

Smart companies do. Dumb ones do not.

Exactly right. All socialist democrat policies. Welcome to the subservient 3rd world. But that’s what you get when you elect corrupt marxist America-haters.
