Something I find interesting is that anti-outsourcing people seem to think that outsourcing is a new thing, like some new trend that has been developed in the last few years.

Outsourcing is just another word for importing.

A company that outsources its programming to India is no different than a person who buys a Toyota that was made in Japan.

When you go to the GAP and buy some clothes, guess what? You're supporting outsourcing! Probably 99% of the clothes aren't made in your country.

The point is this: outsourcing (importing goods/services) is not new. So the argument that it is going to destroy the economy is rather weak.
