Eric, outsourcing can bring inflation down but at what price to our nation’s employment rolls? Global economy is indeed a reality. One that demands outsourcing for companies to survive.

Eric, outsourcing can bring inflation down but at what price to our nation’s employment rolls? Global economy is indeed a reality. One that demands outsourcing for companies to survive. But in the process big business will thrive at the expense of the American workforce. How can our workers compete with those in countries favored by outsourcing? Where poverty-level wages are paid, 90-hour weeks are the norm, as is child labor and uncompensated prison labor. Where laborers have to endure locked bathrooms, inadequately fed, denied access to health care and retirement benefits, etc. For a global economy to work for America we must either reject all the advances that we have made in human rights in the past century (God forbid) or wait until all the rest of the global markets come up to par with our system of values. Then, with the playing field level, outsourcing would encourage healthy competion and everyone will benefit. Maybe some day.
