I might be against the grain a bit but I see most of this outsourcing as the US is growing for good not bad. Try looking at it this way 8)

The US makes BIG important things like airplanes, cars, and new inventions. We are the most highly developed country in the world and we dont have time focus on minor manufacturing. Our time is to valuble to be manufacturing T-shirts.

while growing 3rd world countries (like China, India, Singapore, etc) NEED money and make smaller things that the US cant afford to make anymore since we are focusing on the bigger things. they make items that are more easily produced like T-shirts, computers, helmets, other cheap stuff.

Would you want to have the US fall behind on evolution and stick to making T-shirts or would you rather send those cheap easily reproduced items to somebody that would happily make them for $5 a day?

Basically we invent a product (like computers), sent it over seas to be produced for cheap, and buy them back so our citizens can afford to have these luxuries that would otherwise be impossible for them to afford. and thus we keep growing AND helping other countries grow.

PS, it might not sound like it but I am a Democrat. We dont need a war to help other countries, lol.
