I know the answer to this one!
They are moving to food stamps. All the money saved buying low cost labor products are paying for the food stamps.

LOL, did you notice one of the graphs that I placed in my post above?
Yes, I agree with you. Either we can somehow get decent paying jobs that everyone can do (like before) or we can move more toward socialism. Pretty simple really and it's already happening. Seems that many are cheerleading it happening at the same time condemning it. The only thing that hasn't happened yet is raising the taxes more on the haves to give to the have nots (we've actually been going backwards on that one - lowering taxes while taking on more burden - i.e. we're running one hell of a deficit). One of those WTF moments in life, I suppose.
Whether manufacturing comes back to America or not remains to be seen. However, some really big players are starting to take notice (or at least making it a PR stunt).

I wonder if WalMart finally noticed that once the credit cards were cut off from people who didn't have as good of paying jobs as they used to, they don't spend as much. Hmmmm...... :hmm:
