Outsourcing is a total red herring but probably buys a few votes which is why Oblamer is beating that particular drum. The real question and one that will never get answered by politicians looking for votes is why so many corporations are moving business overseas. Taxes, regulations, uncertainty, etc. all play a role but in the final analysis they do it because they think it will improve company performance. Why is that and isn't that where we need to focus out attention rather than this populist nonsense?

As for GF's point, the simple reality is that these companies find it cheaper to assemble their cars in right to work states (with some notable exceptions) versus assembly far away and shipping to the US. Makes sense to me, especially since they are so committed to this market. I could provide a long lecture about full employment but that's for another time and another post. Besides, with our current debt levels aren't we being told that 8% is the new normal? If not, then the Messiah does not deserve a 2nd term and Carter definitely does not deserve his third.
