Well over the decades the value proposition has changed. In the case of manufacturing, the proposition was you give us money, we give you a quality, well built product that will last a long time. Also, we would recirculate some of that money back to the economy in the form of wages paid to US workers.

Now it's you give us money, we'll continue to figure out how to make it cheaper and it's ok if the quality slips because it's for our benefit of course, and we'll spend all our labor overseas.
