How many articles would prove the point? Two? Five? A hundred?
All it takes to prove something is one article with facts. If you have anything to refute it, go right ahead and post.
Fact is, it is logical that even though allegedly millions of jobs were outsourced during the 1990s and 2000's the unemployment rate reached the loweest sustained rate I have seen in my lifetime.
As to your last statement, are you maintaining that outsourcing affects net jobs but does not affect unemployment? That's crazy talk.
Saying that outsourcing creates jobs (take the American Jobs Creation Act as an example) make as much economic sense as saying that putting 31m uninsured in the UHC system will lower medical expenses.
Outsourcing jobs is the "root cause" of the poor economy. If you can't grasp that "sales" actually selling imported products, only hurts the economy. The trade deficit, weak dollar, and store closings should give you a hint. I walked a mall today where about 1/4 of the stores, which were open last year, are now closed. People have no money to shop, get a clue. Shoppers need jobs before they can shop.
Uh, people benefit when financial transactions occur. Are you saying that no American benefits when a Chinese good is sold here? How about, Apple imports cheap computer chips from Taiwan. Then it incorporates them into an IPhone. It sells the iPhone for a 50% profit. Does no American benefit from that transaction? Or do all Americans benefit?
As for your shuttered malls, tell me that outsourcing has been going on for 2 years and I'll tell you about a bridge in Brooklyn for sale.
Umm the iPhones are built entirely in China I believe.
