1. Who says helping the domestic economy is a priority for our leaders?

Assume they want to gut domestic production and employment to lower our standard of living, making us "cost competitive" with the developing world.

When our standard of living is that of a Chinese or Indian peasant, they will be happy to move production back to the US.

You post only makes sense if you assume our political leaders really want the average American to prosper.

I believe that is not the case.
