>I live in the U.S. When politicians say stuff like "We need to keep more jobs from going overseas"? I don't even know what they're talking about. They're talking about not playing in a race-to-the-bottom for global wages, and using an internal market to the benefit of the majority of the people (instead of businesses), which might not like having to pay more for a device produce domestically, but they certainly like having a job economy and being able to afford housing and bread on their table. >We should make things in a more expensive fashion and force ourselves to buy them? The guy without a job because his went to a least expensive overseas facility cannot afford many things in the first place, if anything. Getting things in a "more expensive fashion" would be great for him. And he's like the majority.
