<P>The charge that Walmart is responsible for all the outsourcing is a red herring. Manufacturing goes offshore because trade policies let it. Jobs will continue to go to China and India until their cost of overhead rises to equilibrium with ours. Because they have so many more people than we do, that equalization is a long way off. It's far enough off to give time for all U.S. manufacturing to go there. Businesses have no choice. If your competitor goes to China, you have to go there or somewhere equivalent. It's not just manufacturing assembly and production jobs being lost. Engineering and design jobs are flying out the door as well. </P> <P>The controversy over Walmart is entirely political. It's run by conservatives and is non-union, so liberals hate it. Everybody who hates Walmart is not liberal, but all liberals hate Walmart. It's a fashion. With the exception of oil companies, Walmart is the most un-politically correct company. (The most P.C. company is Google). But I don't want to get too political here.</P>
