This is the ZERO sum argument. However, you only look at the result at the labor. You don't want to look at the money being made and profit being made which is being REINVESTED into the economy.
Also, by clamping down on outsourcing you are rewarding people for being LAZY with their skills. If your "job moves overseas" isn't it YOUR responsiblity to upgrade your skills?
Why ask the government to babysit you?

When you outsource you effectively take that money out of the system and put it in another country that usually does not have people to return it.
Think of it as having a pool and a pump and fountain. You take water out of the pool and push it through the fountain and it looks pretty and goes back into the pool and recycles. Well if you take that hose supplying the fountain and divert some of the water to another pool you have less water in your pool..... your pool gets lower and lower as you do it. Remember Nixon removed us from the gold standard...... outsourcing is very destructive to the economy since it is the rich with more that are doing it.
