Well, complicated economic questions are always spun into memes, and often the memes are wrong, economically speaking... especially regarding protectionism...

...so it may well be beneficial in the long run that jobs are outsourced; if the economy is stronger in the long run, everyone's ship will rise with the rising tide...

...and America's real strength is logistics, it really doesn't matter whether even the white-collar jobs are done overseas, and may well be a very nice trend towards the end of global scarcity and things like hunger...

...but even productive economic change is temporarily painful.
