Untrue by a longshot.

Try going to one of the Chicago print shows.
It's not all offshore yet.

But,

The number of items we see printed in Mexico, China, (and in
Shortwave's example Brazil) is increasing very rapidly. I know of
specific cases where publishers who previously printed in the US have
started using Chinese presses within the last year or so.

There's no doubt more is going overseas, which is a bad trend.

I could pop Nixon over the head for opening up China to our markets as
he did. I could also pop every president, senator and congressman who
has allowed the many and prolific trade practices which account for our
unreal trade deficit.

It is just the evolution of manufacturing. But, you have to ask your
self how the Japanese took over the automobile manufacturing business
world wide with the only native resource being the labor.
