Not sure that I totally agree with the premise. Many big companies have benefited from Outsourcing...many countries such as India and China have actually benefited from Outsourcing. Their middle class has grown because Europe and US have outsourced their software development and manufacturing operations to them. Overall, it;s a good business trend.

What about the long term effects of Outsourcing? Are we harming the US by sending all of our money and manufacturing expertise to China? What about theft of your companies IP?

Of course Companies save money when they outsource...they must do it to compete...especially in the computer and high tech industry. The cost margins drop so quickly, there is really very little other options in order to compete
