Counterpoint No Some things are good for some of the people some of the time, and that’s almost the case with offshoring. Unfortunately, it is good for only a few people but not for most. I keep hearing about the cost savings, but when I buy goods or services I rarely find anything that’s cheaper than it used to be. Whether buying a Ralph Lauren shirt, getting medical services from a doctor who is saving money through Claimpower, or having Fidelity manage my assets, national income going to labor has gone down while the percentage of national income going to profits is up.
