how do you avoid a "globalist" approach to trade and economic matters when your companies are offshoring so much of their production?
Obviously, if you're in business and you're playing the numbers game, you'll go where labor is cheapest, where oversight is lessened, etc., but the US remains the major purchaser of those goods. So, how do you correct for the fact that if folks aren't earning here, they'll never be able to afford them, or that you're basically enriching the other countries?
If you're going to have international business and offshoring, I think there has to be a certain "globalism" and then, you're accused of empire building, which is, in all reality, probably just an attempt to get a pro-US business regime in place for security and profitability.
