I'm wondering why people don't seem to realise that if they want shit products for next to nothing, there is a payback on this. It basically screws up any "western" industrialized country in the long term through loss of manufucturing industry/jobs.

There is no such thing as "security" as long as "poor" countries have cheap labor and greedy "weathly" countries like to take advantage of that and enjoy the benefits.

The US is obviously particularly prone to this problem since it is the highest consumer society in the world and been living on credit for the last 25 ish years and without having any trade surplus in that time. Eventually the bubble will burst - that scenario is no place near any economic viability.

Anyway.. I'm getting tied of the Lou Dobbs daily whining! :-) Sure, he has a point, but seems to forget the flip side of the coin. It's called balance...
