I sure am glad I'm self-employed.
Thom, you seem to believe that sending jobs overseas is the motive of every executive, but the fact is USA wants cheap products. Give Joe Blow product A for $3, made in USA, and give Joe product B for $1, made in China, and I bet he'll grab product B.
Once the dam has a leak, it's hard to stop. The companies cannot compete with foreign labor so they are faced with a hard decision: go overseas or risk going out of business.
I think the solution is for the entire population to make sacrifice for the overall good of the nation and its people. This means everyone has to give a little.
A couple years ago, buying New Balance running shoes made in USA was easy. It's getting harder now. I have to pass over several models before I can find the ones NOT made in China. Yeah, I'm sure someone could blow my spending habits to pieces, but at least I try.
Regards,
Jurgen
