Just think about this for a second... How long do you think it takes to get a manufactoring plant going in say asia or mexico even? Maybe a year or so to plan the operation and make the decision to move... maybe another 1-2 years to build the new plant.... maybe anotehr 1-2 years to get it running.. So by my calculation its 3-5 years to move a plant over seas... Which seems reasonable corporate america doesnt do anything to quickly... so by those calculation those decisions where made in the late 90's under the Clinton Adminstration a time where it was beneficial to move overseas... you had problems getting employees because everyone was going to the tech industry... plus its expensive... I know coming from a GM town alot of guy that make 20+/hr doing basically nothing all day... Not to mention the Japs and whoever can import stuff and the way the dollar was overvalued and free trade was passed they were making a killing....

Thank Clinton? George Bush has turned a totally blind eye to the outsourcing of jobs from America. And he has not said one WORD on doing anything about it.
Get over Clinton dude..this is *2004* when we need to concentrate on what is happening NOW!
