What I was trying to relay many, many replies ago is that when a (American) job is sent overseas in search of cheap labor how often do we see it reflected in the price? Not often enough are those saving passed on to the consumers. What comes to mind right off the bat is Nike. Years ago I remember seeing a special on how their shoe production had gone overseas, worker pay was like 28 cents a day, and yet a pair of shoes - I think Jordans were the ones singled out - still carried a price tag of $125 + at the time. This was in the early '90's.
In 2009 Footjoy shuttered their plant here that made the high end Footjoy Classic, a shoe used by most pro's and many amateurs that enjoy the finer things in life. This plant had been around since the '50's. Supposedly not enough interest or demand for this premium golf shoe. They are now carrying the ICon line which replaced it and are made in Asia.

What else has to leave this country in order to appease stockholder profit margins? I think any job is a good job and better then relying on government support and I'm sure that many who've lost their jobs would echo that sentiment.
