It's not all American's fault.
Not when corporations hand out discounted or free training to foreign countries ("investing") - the lower cost of living in those countries is why offshoring occurs. It literally makes America impossible to compete.

If we are to be globalized, the entire world needs to be ran as one government, and on a level playing field in terms of the cost of living (to make 'developed' nations competitive again, before it's too late), and maybe even workers allowed to work or move anywhere they choose. Now that is not family-friendly, having to uproot all the time, but if it has to be done, it has to be done.

Guess what's probably not going to happen?

Now I do agree with the positives to offshoring - developing these nations, pulling people out of poverty, and the world needs all the scientists and engineers it can get. But why Americans are appearingly being tossed aside in the process, and makes no sense. We can't be a nation solely of supervisors, nurses, and CIOs. Unless we become a one-government world, then it makes sense.
