Yeah, it does cost more to make stuff here at home. But the reasons for the higher costs, like pollution controls, decent wages, and worker protection, are all things that most of us support. I just wish our govt. would require other countries to provide the same protections for the environment and for their workers, or pay a tariff to make our domestic products more competitive, before we no longer have enough buying power as a nation to influence anyone, if it's not too late already. A level playing field is all we need to out compete everyone else. "Globalization" is just a license for companies to outsource industries and jobs to places with cheap, unprotected labor, and no regard for polluting the environment, so they can make huge profits with the industries that American workers built.
