Why should we stop it? Don't you want to buy $30 microwaves? $50 DVD players? Get a matchbox car with your happy meal?

Most people talk the talk, but given the choice, most would take cheaper goods and few manufacturing jobs here over the alternative.

Can you think of anything Switzerland manufactures besides watches? They seem to be doing quite well if I recall.

There is an interesting movement beginning at the state level that seems to be gaining in popularity. States would seek to penalize companies with disproportionate (subjective) levels of foreign labor in their overall labor mix. Haven't heard many details but I think we might hear more in the near future.
