Yes the jobs will go overseas most likely, and those people will work for AMERICAN companies. Companies that are regulated by the US govt and pay taxes to the US govt.
I used to watch Lou Dobbs and get all worked up too. Being the analytical person that I am I decided to do alot of research on the outsourcing of jobs and free trade agreements and whether they were good or bad for the average American.
Bottom line is we're better off and more prosperous now than at any time in history. Things will continue to go the way they're going, the demographics demand it. Sure the manufacturing jobs are going overseas, if they didn't we wouldn't have had enough workers here to create the information economy.
Now alot of white(ish) collar jobs are going overseas also, and again this will free up the human capital we need for the next era, which I have no doubt the U.S. will be at the front of, and profit the most from.
