YEah it has employment in india and wages in china. There is also a big difference from having jobs in the US being made obsolete by technology and jobs being outsourced. When railroads started cutting back you could still apply in a trucking company. That's not true in a global economy. if jobs are created overseas the fact of the matter is laws in china and india and most other countries mean you can't work there. IF that wasn't the case I might agree with you. Since it's not we really need to look after jobs in the US for our own survival. The standard of living might be rising on a global level, but that doesn't necesarily mean it's benefiting us in america much. Besides their is no reason we can't raise the american standard of living keep the middle class and still increase productivity for everyone. We just have to look out for our own country to some extent instead of just pandering to big multinatiopnal corporations.
