cutting down on regulation and on government - and releasing the creative energies of capitalism IMO, your phrase (above) was the initial trigger. The second was corporate recognition that they must increase their outward expansion to compete because, as you say, the labor costs in the U.S. were never ending. The original issue is pretty dead now given that "about 100%" of everything we buy is made outside the USA. Personally, I never opposed out sourcing. I have and still do oppose the poorly-managed cost of labor having long been a proponent of "eight for eight".
