I guess you're right about it being foolhardy but it's already happened.

Subject: [Consult400] Wal-Mart Bashing...Was Re: Hi


If our factories are shuttered, and the blue-collar folks are out of work, 
what need will there be for on-shore tech services? I fear that we are 
creating an entire generation of people who will never have a meaningful 
job in their life. We are approaching the time where the major line of 
business in areas that formerly provided manufacturing jobs is the 
gang-related drug trade. Look at the south side of Chicago, Newark, 
Philly, or the Bronx.

Shifting the economy from one that is manufacturing based to one that is 
services based is foolhardy.
