You don't remember conservative neighbors and friends hounding you about buying American in the 80's? It was everywhere over here, and back then it was the LIBERALS who were the ones saying "What's the big deal if it's made in China?"
I guess I should be questioning the liberals on this too--they flipflopped on this radically as well.
In the 80's, the conservatives in their opinion about job outsourcing (which didn't have that term at that time) seemed like a bunch of extremists running around saying "the sky is falling", but now we have exactly the situation they had warned us about, and now they support it and the ones who were saying it's not a big deal are the ones saying, "We have to save our jobs! We have to cut back on job oursourcing! We have to buy American!"
