You are exactly right!

Unfortunately, it will take an increase in import taxes to make an even playing field for domestic manufacturers

As for services, IT jobs, that will only get worse in the coming years.... Take it from an ex-ecom guy.

One bright spot is Dell... I heard a rumor - They outsourced the Tech Support Call Center to India and received so many complaints that they are bringing it back to the US (customers cannot understand the accents)
