Yeah. We've lost the good paying manufacturing jobs that were the first step up to the near middle class.
Now we're outsourcing the middle class jobs. We're in a world of hurt.

Yes. That became aparent back in the 60s, though the root causes went back even further than that. American labor has become very expensive, and that means that any job that /can/ be done somewhere else can often be done more profitably somewhere else. The reason labor is so expensive in America is that a great deal was done to improve the lot of the 'working class' by pushing up wages and benefits (which pushed up the costs of goods and services, which required even higher wages all around). Some of that was in the form of unionized labor, others via labor-protection laws. But, the result was inevitable - Americans became too expensive to employ in low-value labor. Thus, for the last century jobs have been progressively lost - first to automation, then imports, then outsourcing, and, now, even jobs that can't be outsourced are being filled by lower-cost immigrants (legal & illegal).

Most of the jobs shipped overseas are very low paying factory jobs that will be replaced by robots anyhow. The bigger risk to current Americans is that overseas education in technology is better, and many of our high paying jobs are here being filled by educated immigrants.

Not only have global forces decimated the American manufacturing sector, but the idiots in Washington DC are helping them

No, global forces. It was called "Nafta" and signed by President Bill Clinton. Plenty of blame for both the Democrats and Republicans.

What is our stock market saying? Do they see gloom and doom or do people keep investing in American products? This country has undergone many changes and they will find a way around all of the outsourcing.

Oh no, Global fources was given a hand by our Government helped with this one by the dumbing down of the people and encouraging their never ending need for cheaper products.
It's sad.
