ColdNoMore - You win this one, no matter the conspiracy theorists! It was the corporations, the CEO's, the stock market, Steve Jobs and Apple, the Walmarts, and... yes the consumer who shifted the manufacture basis overseas, be it Mexico, China, and then Vietnam, etc.
In these days, the world is way too much interconnected; Isolationism, hardly worked pre-World War I, it wouldn't succeed now. The way of the passenger pigeon - jobs, manufacturing, protectionism, coal production, and probably, soon, carbon burning automobiles...
