All that nonsense about outsourcing

Last week at the Democratic National Convention, held in Charlotte, North Carolina, a woman peddling bumper stickers outside the event's venue shouted to passers-by: "Not Made in China".

I turned back and gave her a questioning look. I asked myself: Should I try to debate her?

At the convention itself, various speakers talked of "stopping the outsourcing of jobs to China". US President Barack Obama, in his speech, proposed giving tax breaks to US companies that bring jobs back to the country.
