Your analysis would be right if we lived in a stateless, nationless world. For as long as we are a separate nation from China, then allowing our technology and jobs to relocate into China is beneficial to China and detrimental to the United States. To the extent that China is not our friend or ally today and is likely to be our enemy soon, allowing this to happen IS treasonous and thouse who allow it to happen, be they the Clintons, the Bushes or the Congress are and will be always remembered as traitors.

As for the capitalistic benefits of moving stuff to China... they will last for as long and the communists in power there wish to allow it. Probably not for long.

To a share/stock holder and to large multinational companies it is a stateless, nationless world.

I agree moving jobs is bad for the nation, but it is what is happening today.

Go to http://saloon.javaranch.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi.

Look for the Jobs Discussion forum.

It is full of American Software engineers who have been down sized as the projects they worked on have been moved abroad to take advantage of cheap labour costs.

And I can tell you know it will get worse.

One Executive Order could bring this crap to a screeching HALT. Instead Bush keeps providing the oil to make everything slide smoother as America slides to it's end.
