Mamboni, just curious, why do you call it "lemon aid" instead of "lemonade"?
BTW your synopsis is perfectly spot on and articulate, any chance you'll be running for any public office any time soon?

Some people really believe that all productive jobs can be shipped elsewhere, automated, or regulated out of existence, and things will be better. Service-based economy. We're all gonna get paid $25+ an hour and not do anything hard or boring or dangerous or even dirty.
Once you outsource the dirty manufacturing jobs to china, it leaves all those geniuses who were polishing hubcaps free to follow their true calling of being a talented engineer or architect. The kids that used to pump gas can become successful financial planners instead. Janitors can go to med school and we'll have tons of skilled doctors and surgeons. It'll be a wonderful green world of flowers and unicorns. China will do everything for us, leaving us to blossom and hold hands and seek enlightenment.
I exaggerated but there a lot of people who really do believe that kind of thing will work. They took a first year economics course or something.
