Money spent inside a country circulates inside the economy. A person working in the NSA pays US taxes, buys products in the US and keeps people employed. All this goes to keeping the economy buoyant.
A laptop made in China sends money to China. Employs s person working in the China pays Chinese taxes, buys products in China and keeps Chinese people employed.
All this goes to keeping the Chinese economy buoyant.
$100 in benefits is better spent than $100 sent to China. Because it's less likely that guy will be buying a computer made in China.
Employing that unemployed guy in the US to make computers will make Apple Shares tumble for a while. Until the money in wages in the US rises and newly employed workers start buying their own computers. It will see the deficit tumble and tax revenues rise.
Yes people will be buying less, and making it last longer. Continue down this road and eventually all your customers will suffer.
