No, I am the ultimate Flintstone. I hate outsourcing!!!

Sorry to disagee with you, but there is no evidence that outsourcing does anything but help the macroeconomy of this country.

Every outsourced, unemployed programmer, customer service rep, and/or factory worker is a vote against whatever administration is in power.

So are their families and likely their friends and peers.

I worry that my particular industry (tech support) is being rapidly outsourced to India and other places where there is cheap and computer-literate labor. Oh sure, there will be a backlash due to inferior service and logistics problems and eventually those jobs will migrate back to the US, while CEOs blither 'I had nothing to do with this outsourcing business, I am shocked I tell you'. Meanwhile I will have been retrained as a widget alignment specialist or bagel slicer at half my salary.

I cannot see the bright side for this country in outsourcing at this point in time.
