And that's "globalization"! And as bad as I feel for those poor folks working in sweat-shops in places like Cambodia and Indonesia, wasn't the last election about bringing jobs "home"? We may eventually have to pay more for the things we purchase (because the idea is that the multi-national corporations who make everything aren't going to be "eating" the increased production costs!), but that's what the new economy is going to look like. And then we can go back to blaming the Chinese for the demise of Oldsmobile and Pontiac!
