Quote by: xyzer Here is an article which points out that the issue is not really as serious as some claim. It's as usual more Democrat agitprop started by Kerry during the election campaign.. READ |
I agree it's not a partisan issue, and relatively free trade in the world is fine but we aren't really talking about outsourcing here. We're talking about the people simply leaving or not coming, and highly skilled people as well.
If you outsource something, you still own or benefit from the product but that (foreign) subcontractors do some of the work, and I agree that's fine though it still implies we could do better in providing those services at home. But that's not the same as having people or companies simply leave as this article is talking about. In that case it's not subcontracting - it's just losing that ability altogether.
I'm certain that most of this isn't due to overly competitive foreign companies and education but self destructive practices that make us less competitive inside the U.S.
