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.
Yep, that's why they lie about it. Enron & now all the rest.
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.
The CEO's will retire to their million $ mansions with big gates
to keep out all the people that lost their jobs cause of the need
to get the stock price up. I's very sad :(
