I think that, once enough jobs are offshored by corporations looking to enhance the bottom line, there won't be a sufficiently affluent customer base to buy whatever they are selling. It is difficult for people with no jobs to buy whatever a given company is selling, and I don't think it is possible for the USA to be populated entirely by CEOs of service-based companies whose labor profits are generated by the efforts of third-world employees.

Eventually, American companies will have to start marketing their products in India, where all the jobs are.
