we're supposed to have free trade, but somehow this theory only applies to the workers losing their jobs to cheaper sources and not to US companies who sell things for cheaper offshore. Theoretically, free trade means this free software in china can be reimported to the US at slighly more than their costs, deeply undercutting US pricing. Drugs, technology, coke (the drink) and all kinds of things are sold offshore on the cheap by US firms. These guys should be careful what they wish for.
