Heres my view on sort of a larger scale:
The problem is that theres all this money flowing out of the U.S. and to other countries. This is better on a global scale because it pumps money into the economies of other countries which allows them to grow but it also takes advantage of the people their who are willing to work for literally pennies a day. For example, the average worker in china makes less in a year then a minimum wage worker in the U.S. does in a week. But anyway, thats another problem.
Getting back on topic, the problem with all this outsourcing is that its taking away jobs from Americans. Americans without jobs are people who don't pay taxes and the government relies on taxes to fund welfare programs to support these jobless people. so if the american people have no money then the government is kinda screwed too. Right now its only mostly manufacturing jobs which have gone overseas, but countries like India and China are slowly taking over other industries especially engineering and IT. Call up a dell tech-support office and you'll probably hear an indian voice. Go buy a new car from GM (i think it was) and its engine was designed by indian engineers.
Walmart is one big reason this happened, and yet people still say say so what, it doesnt affect me, poor guys over at masterlock or the pickle company just got shafted. Just remember this quote:
"First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me. "
