Import of goods and services = bad, money is being spent overseas taking money out of the economy, leaving less money for everyone here, and meaning there's less jobs because the jobs are being filled overseas.
In economic terms, outsourcing is a bad idea when speaking economy on a national level. It might be good for the company that's doing it, their costs are down and their profits up, but as far as a country is concerned, it just leads to a bigger recession.
The only way to beat it is to move to the country that's getting all the contracts - in this case, India, or wherever it happens to be next, the Phillipines I guess.

Well said Ben,
That's what the outsourced countries don't understand. Yeah they'll suck up to get those american dollars and jobs but at what sacrifice? The U.S. isn't the ONLY country with a history of organized crime. We just like our gangsters better because they dress well.
Yet in other countries like India, you've got to have the care and respect of the citizens who are going to do these outsourced jobs. Are they getting fair pay, health care, etc. Or are they gonna end up like every other country we've outsourced to where the laborers live in sweatshops, fire hazards, chained to tables and overworked.
That's all I'm beefin' about. Because the money we send over seas usually ends up in the pocket of a kissass politician, or military guy or royalty who ends up making billions upon billions, fucks over his people then we have to drop what the fuck we're doin' to go spend billions upon billions of dollars to blow his sorry ass to smithereens.
It's that never ending cycle of outsourcing without responsibility.
Plain and simple.
So.. xxxoutsourcing, it ain't about bigottry or protectionalism, it's about decent human conduct on all counts.
