Bushies praising offshoring of jobs a real issue in this campaign. Now we know how they really think. Greed is good. Anything for the bottom line. Edwards is right, there are two economies. One for those on top, one for everyone else. Bush serves the top level only.

If US businesses can not be competitive with foreign products because of labor cost, what happens to that business? It goes out of business, i.e. many jobs lost. If it goes out of business we lose more than just jobs (bankruptcy has a ripple effect throughout the economy) If a US business can reduce labor cost to remain competitive by "off-shoring" some jobs then it has a chance to stay in business, i.e. retains jobs in the US. By staying in business, we also retain some tax base, profits and other benefits in the US. Tell me where any of this is wrong. If you're a CEO, would you choose to close your doors over reducing labor cost?
