But you do this to remain competitive. If you insisted that all the 
manufacturing of ICs that go in your products, and the products themselves, be 
done in the US, your prices would be too high and you'd be out of business.

Similarly, if all industries were forced to use only US parts and US 
manufacturing, prices for all products would go up, and the average person in 
the US would become more like the average person is in China and Brazil is 
today. Unable to afford most of these products.

That's the way it works. Local jobs have to evolve, just as jobs have been 
evolving ever since we stopped being an agrarian economy. Manufacturing jobs 
are going the way of farm jobs of centuries past.
