U.S. good and services less competitively priced both here and abroad... If companies want to offshore to sell abroad (in other words localized manufacturing) absolutely nobody has a problem with that! That is the way business is done everywhere. The entire problem is that large corps are using the US market as a dumping ground while adding no value to our economy. Bank of America the latest one. I'll tell you what, you wingers can go into denial about this if you want. I can assure you that if Bush doesn't address this offshoring issue NOW, with legislation, he and many of his republican colleagues will be shown the door in november. Check out congress.org, pull up "economy" (the most popular topic) and read the posts. A LOT of anger. Long term unemployment in all the states bush needs to win. Face it, supply side has met its match and denial coming from Larry Kudlow and Jack Welch just pisses people off. Small businesses, people like AS's friend who has a boat retail business are feeling it too. This is NO BOOM. If Bush puts forth some sort of legislation to control offshoring maybe he might, repeat might, get to keep his job. Without it, he is out imho. Offshoring is accelerating not declining, and it is moving east from the west. The hatred people have here for Bush is about to migrate to the states he absolutely has to win (if it hasn't already). BTW Lou Dobbs is Bush's arch enemy.
