I remember when Chrysler had "imported from Detroit" ads ... I'm betting they could use some foreign aid. There MUST be an anticommunist warlord or two there; send Hillary. cn

They never wanted the USA in the first place but there wasn`t any stopping it. Everyone is critisizing what the USA does, but they cover up deaths etc and keep on doing what they are doing. Thats because its for the profit of the USA... Ever watch Joe Rogan critisizing the American war machine? Its on youtube if your interested... The UK did really similar things too... Specially to places like India... Maybe its time to equalise a bit, and set worldwide balances to equal?
An Xbox would cost around $24,000 if made by American labour... True fact apparently.

It's owned by the Italians so there has to be socialism somewhere.

Then "to steve" should be a synonym for outsourcing. "We had two jobs, but Jenny's got steved." cn

Please supply the facts for that statement. I was able to find information about iPad and quite frankly it doesn't support your numbers.
An Apple iPad 2 currently sells for $729. Its actual cost to make with FoxConn Chinese workers [who make a whopping $185 / month AFTER their big 30% pay-raise] is $292.77 which means a gross margin of 54%.
If made in the U.S. the same iPad2 would cost $617.77 to make, thus a gross margin of 15.25%.
To keep the same 54% margin, the “Made in America” iPad would cost $1,144.02.

I'm sure the world does appreciate what the US does. I'm not saying it doesn't, and I'm not saying we shouldn't, but the system here at home is broken, why are we not trying to help our own first...? It's so hard to find a job now. I've been out of work for 19 months almost 20... the job market used to be flooded, I now fight with 40 other people for 1 position, WTF?The world really appreciates the USA and what it does for them
Now the JOB CREATORS are training people in other countries for english speaking jobs cause it's cheaper? Fuck man I could use a job and you don't have to train me to speak english... The rich get richer and the rest of us are fucked...
wait what's this thread about? stay high

Isn't it the responsibility of the people IN that country to decide their government is horrible and do something about it? We've all had to have a revolution at some point, let them have theirs. The USA has no more place doing what we are than all the Empires of the Middle Ages had to do what they did. You shouldn't interfere in another cultures affairs unless it's a direct threat to you. And no, to you doesn't mean your oil money.

I am a self employed and I outsource much work to the Philippines and India.
I get quality work for a fraction of the price. If I were forced to hire Americans, I wouldn't turn a profit.
if you don't like jobs being outsourced, start a company of your own.
if you are worried about your job being outsourced, learn a trade. Cant outsource plumbers and welders.
