This post deserved more attention.
I agree that America can't compete with Chinese prices, but there are other factors that come to play when deciding on where to buy from. Comparative advantage is a powerful thing. We can't shy away from these questions, and i'm glad this discussion is being handled in a rational and respectful manor.
By the way, take it from someone who's at his first internship in the CIS field: The jobs are still out there, but it's not a guarantee that you can get one straight out of college if you don't go the extra mile. There's tough competition out there, so students will simply have to rise to meet the challenge. America needs to step it's game up, and we are doing just that with this program. Imposing artificial limits within the program is the WRONG way to inspire students.
