> Anyone who lives in a formerly manufacturing heavy area is going to be find that argument hard to believe. We see companies closing down shops and moving them overseas time and time again. The studies I mentioned showed that about 15% of the manufacturing jobs lost in the US were sent overseas due to trade. That's a small proportion of the total jobs that were lost, but it still adds up to a lot of people seeing their local factories close down.
