So outsourcing is good for america and american companies, it's just not politically correct to say so.
You forget that it's not only low level jobs that are being outsourced. The highest paying tech jobs are also being outsourced.

You're right, it puts more money into the company's pocket and makes the company stronger, and they may pay more taxes. This doesn't lead to hiring of more Americans. It leads to hiring of more outsourced higher level work at a fraction it would cost to hire high level american workers.

The economy will suffer because nobody except companies will be paying taxes because the average joe won't have a job because it is now overseas.
