Out Sourcing
Why do USA product manufactuers and service providers have the nerve to out source to countries with populations that are virtually unable to produce sufficient goods and services for their own citizens consumption?
Are our industry leaders brain dead because it doesn't take a genius to determine that out sourcing product and services to foreign countries means less wealth to distribute to US citizens?

Its a function of sourcing manager objectives for price deflation, FOREX and Macro Economics of sourcing.
As a Contract Manufacturer with facility in China and USA, there are times I can be as competitive in either location, but they/customer perceive it must be lowest cost if it's built in Asia.
Sometimes true, sometimes not... especially when you look at the TTL cost.
