So don't try pretending that Foreign Direct Investment equals insourcing, because you are distorting the issue.

Those instances where FDI does not result in insourceing merely illustrate how disingenuous the insourcing cheerleaders actually are. With FDI already plummeting, and only a small portion being applied to new, job-creating investment, there is little insourcing actually occurring.

Check this out. If Willie says that FDI is insourcing, and little insourcing is going on, then it must be true.

If Toyota opens up a manufacturing plant in Tennessee, and hires 400 workers, that's insourcing.

But that's NOT Foreign Direct Investment, because Toyota is not taking an ownership position in an American company.
