"lagging productivity" will make jobs sisappear, every time. No company in a competetive environment can suvive if their workers insist on being paid more and more, yet produce less and less.

I have already begun a personal boycott of things made in Canada, and I encourage every citizen of the US to join me.
Further, I look assiduously for comparable products made in USA rather than just buying what's on the shelf. But sometimes it's difficult--even Tommy Hilfiger's trademark red-white-and-blue fashions are made in China.
So much of our manufacturing has been closed down that we cannot not even maintain our military without importing uniforms and equipment from our potential enemies.
