No we can't blame them. But it is manufacturing that creates wealth. Acquiring the raw materials, processing em, transporting, making something with that, transporting again, assembling, transporting, etc. Lots more people employed, more companies involved. Taxes on all of that.
Service economy. Labor and a few parts. Fewer people, fewer companies, less taxes raised at the local, state, fed level. Massive negative balance of payments in foreign exchange.
Yes, companies save monies. Our country loses. I wonder if this were factored out, if subsidies to keep manufacturing here would not actually be a plus on the balance sheet. I know that is supposedly illegal, but still I gotta wonder what if?
