In recent years this has finally started to reach levels where the US industrial displacement in a post-recession and 911/paranoid economy has become painfully noticeable. Millions of lucrative US manufacturing jobs have been lost, while many surviving businesses struggle or are also contemplating relocation abroad of at least part of their production.
Politically, this hasn't gone unnoticed, as concentrated pain in the US heartland has filtered upwards through the House of Representatives, the Senate and the Presidency whose main backers today are mid-Westerners.
