I would much rather pay a little more for the refrigerator and keep an unskilled US citizen employed in a customer service job. Now I pay less for the refrigerator and more taxes to support the unemployed.

I think you know that won't work. As I have said before, it's the failure of our educational system. From 1800 until about 1965, we had the educational system the world has ever seen. It has been downhill since then.

You won't find the people in India wasting their money sending their kids to College to get Degrees in Sociology, etc. We no longer push math and science in our system, and we are paying for it.

We had a lot of overpaid computer types who are now finding the true level of pay for their skills. Going to India isn't all sweetness and light. The Corporations are being forced to it more by available skills than money, IMO.

With our growth, we just aren't producing enough high skill people to satisfy the demand.
