They aren't "short term" cost reductions. They're as long term as they can be. That's why it happens. Nobody wants to do business in a country where the cost to hire people is inflated by such nonsense as government over-regulation, minimum wages for unskilled labor, massive commitments for gold-plated insurance plans, retirement packages that make no fiscal sense, and massive taxation on both the employee and the employer that make it impossible to make money. I am talking about non recurring costs...developing a product...you can't do it there and keep the secret sauce secret and the skill transfer bounded...a great deal of that is now being moved to these countries where wages are 1/5 of what they are here...there's no way to close that gap despite all your nonsensical references to minimum wage, regulations and other irrelevant right wing garbage.
