I can accept losing manufacturing jobs, due to union infiltration over the years that has literally been the cause of those jobs "pricing themselves out of the market" but when you start losing white collar jobs that people in this country have spent money to educate themselves for, where does it end???

I would suggest that you reconsider some of your stand on Manufacturing jobs as it is not merely Union jobs being exported mostly to China it is a whole bunch of other jobs when the Chinese maintain 50% tariffs on Americna consumer products (at least some consumer products I ahve not reasearched all of them). Harley Davidson Motorcycles have one fifthe of teh worldwide market share yet they are barred from China by non tariff barriers. They would perhaps be an ideal export to that nation but they are barred.

Harley Davidson is doing just fine in asia and the "gray market" in China bodes well for them when China finally decreases its protective tarrifs..

I remember a few years back Mercedes Benz ahd the same problem (still does in many countries)but consumers still found ways to buy em and drive em.
