The scam that got US
companies to off-shore US manufacturing started long ago. It started in the
kumbaya days of the 1960s, when the US wanted to buy the world a Coke. The
message from the kids was that “stuff” didn’t make them happy. They preferred sex,
drugs and rock and roll.
Foreign competitors
were demanding that US companies locate their manufacturing plants in their
countries in order to sell their goods to the locals. Foreign countries were
planning to lower their corporate taxes and offer bribes to attract US
companies. The US government was packed with “Internationalists” who promoted
foreign aid with the promise of expanded exports. It was a lie.
All economies are
national. The laws are controlled by
national legislatures. Global trade wasn’t new; it started in 10,000 BC. Poor
countries lacked the incomes to become reliable consumers. We were funding our
potential competitors rather than using our resources to provide security by
advancing our technology to serve productivity.
