> And why not? The offshoring of work reduces the cost of goods and services and frees American time up to do meaningful, better compensated work instead.

In general, in a free capitalist market the government probably shouldn't be subsidizing corporations in any way.

That model assumes that the government has absolute power over corporations and that politicians need nothing from corporations.

In real life, governments need to negotiate with corporations, because individual politicians need corporate sponsors to finance their campaigns, so they sell their influence.
