Letter: Offshoring obsession leaves America in lurch

I’m disappointed in Larry Schiff (“It’s every American’s duty to understand the cost of tariffs,” Star-Advertiser, Island Voices, Feb. 9). He completely leaves out what has happened in American business.

He says nothing of American CEO’s shifting production overseas because it’s cheaper with less problems to manufacture there. Then they get huge bonuses for shutting down American factories and saving their company money.

While CEO’s get fat bonuses, we get slightly cheaper goods, unemployment and massive debt for handouts to help those without jobs.
