As Paul Craig Robers points out, the corporate crony capitalist love to offshore to cut labor cost but can't make the calculation as to who will buy this stuff if they have no job. Well, the libertardians are not much better.

Vehicle market prices are going down and it ain't fun. Inventories are rising because the manufacturers and dealers aren't lowering prices fast enough.
