He works for some company that goes from corporation to corporation deciding how many and which jobs to contract externally. He actually feels good about himself too.

I hate seeing our manufacturing jobs leave, I strongly feel we need to revamp that base. But a company's job is to make money, not be patriotic. Our government's job is to level the playing field, which they have not. And both administarations are to blame. Globalization is here and in theory is good for U.S. business. But the playing field has to be leveled.
