Well, I don't think the average American understands these issues of jobs going off shore. However, the low inflation rates are appreciated by average Americans. Now, my two cents says that the current overall business climate, that requires companies (driven by their stockholders and the overall markets) to continually show increasing profits forces them to look for cost savings anywhere they can. Guess what makes up substantial portions of the cost of goods....labor and cheap materials. So it seems likely that we will see more of this movement. Now my rant to all this is that the pay of CEO's has gone through the roof while the people delivering the goods has been restricted or jobs are gone. This is further infuriating when they are kicked out and get multi-million dollar bye outs. There is no longer any justifiable relationship between the dollars the CEO's are getting, the business they are responsible for, and the dollars the poeple delivering the products are getting.
I could go on forever......... Gene
