Heinz does not outsource jobs overseas. Outsourcing is when something is manufactured overseas that used to be made here and then imported back to America. Heinz is in the food business - food business needs to be local to produce and sell. When ever I see an ignorant statement about Heinz I understand why Americans have no clue about the destruction of their manufacturing base.

"Heinz does not outsource jobs overseas"

Better look that one up again.

Actually almost three-quarters of Heinz factories are overseas (mainly in Asia), and unless I missed something, you don't need to produce ketchup and mustard locally (and you don't see much of it is Chinese cooking, so I doubt they use much of it there). Here is a link to a story:

Heinz aside, Kerry outsourced his campaign call center work and is perhaps the first politician to ever outsource one of his houses, having it built outside the US and importing the parts.

The stupid one is Kerry for making such a big deal about American companies with plants overseas. The Benedict Arnold crap.

Outsourcing, insourcing, he still looks stupid when it's revealed that Heinz has so many overseas plants.

Heinz is probably okay. JohnEffing puts foot in mouth once again.

"Heinz does not outsource jobs overseas."

Call it what you want, it's still jobs not being performed by Americans.

Kerry is a hypocrite any way you want to phrase it.
