I believe it has been reported that we insource more than we outsource..Toyota, Honda, BMW..good paying jobs. My hometown in Ohio was largley saved years ago by Honda's massive factory in Marysville. Anybody want to check the numbers. So, if we end outsourcing will insourcing end?
While it would be nice if insourcing still continued (a bit hypocritical perhaps) after outsourcing and we "bought American made" but it is not realistic for many products in a global economy. Outsourcing lowers costs which help US manufactures stay competitive in a global marketplace. Stop and foriegn manufactures gain advantage. Because as much lip service is given to "buy American" it is striking how many Americans would/do buy a similar product from China to save a buck..
