What will happen with the USA when it outsources everything?
I may be stupid but...
US citizens are the richest in the world - it's a fact, but they didn't become rich because they outsourced. So, what happens when: a) Joe Sixpack works as a car-parts manifacturer. He gets $10k per month sallary. He buys TVs, DVDs, Cars, Pays taxes etc. b) 100 x Joe Sixpacks = good consumers c) You outsource 100 joe sixpacks to China, and you give 100 chinese $100 a month. d) you get RICH corporate CEO, rich corporation, but you leave 100 Joe Sixpacks out of job e) The company now has parts to sell, but there aren't any Joe Sixpacks to buy those parts. What will happen if tons of the work gets "outsourced" and many people loose their jobs, who'll make the US economy grow? If the outsourcing trend continues there will be tons of rich companies with poor population. ??? Explain this to me.. |

other jobs will take the place of the ones that have been outsourced.. the world generally adapts to whatever we throw at it..
here in western europe we have seen outsourcing to the eastern countries, but our economy is still growing.. we just have to be a bit creative and find new areas to work in.. + the western world has the best educational system.. so almost all of the jobs that require more than basic knowledge will not be outsourced.. |

What will happen with outsourcing is that
1. New jobs will come along as the economy evolves 2. New markets will be created by raising the standard of living in third world countries....creating a middle class there which does not now exist. And the US will find things to sell to them.

I think it was bound to happen. People in India work dirt cheap, and are harder working.
A lot of these IT jobs are becoming the white collar equivalent of picking tomatos. People need to get the right skills and stay in demand. |

This shall turn out to be a good argument thread.
Outsourcing is not bad for the country, there I said it. Many also do not really look at the ecomonics of it all it seems. I do hope people do relize that foriegn companies do a hell of a lot of what I guess we could call insourcing to America. They wish to be closer to their primary consumers so they open up centers in the US. Cold hard fact is you can not stop outsourcing. Only thing a Government could do is impose tarrifs on imports and or subsidize bad companies who can not compete in todays world economy. Yes a tarrif may help joe sixpack keep his job, yet someone is going to pay for those tarrifs and it ussually is you and me or some other company. Also keep in mind countries believe in tit for tat. If we tarrif them, they will tarrif us and it just gets even more ugly. |

My Dad was a salesman for IBM back in the mid 60's. I remember the big stink then was "OMG, computers are going to replace everyone and then no one will have jobs!!". Somehow, we have recovered from that.

Education in the eastern European centres is on par with anywhere in the western world. Same with India etc. Of course there are dumb people too, but there are dumb people everywhere. They have PHD's selling stuff on a marketplace to get enough money for food not because they are stupid, but because there are no jobs. It's changing with the internet, and language barrier is not as big when you are typing on a computer screen. Quality outsourcing prices will slowly rise as Internet becomes more accessible and domestic services will lower in price.. that's what will happen

Of corse it takes just a basic knowledge to invent something like that. How about buying a ticket in public transportation with a cellphone? How about free Wifi all over the cities? No? |

Just because the government allows it does not make it the government's fault when a CEO chooses to do it. It's just plain and simple greed.
These companies make plenty of money to pay their employees and still bring in a hefty profit, especially with all their tax breaks and funneling of money. The US has an enormous number of unemployed, educated, skilled, hard working people. If you want to see just how many, post a highly skilled job offer and see just how many responses you get. It's actually overwhelming and quite sad to see. And btw...joe6pack makes no where near 10K a month All this outsourcing just can't be good, at least not for the majority of the people in the US ![]() |

We all know that social security is just a ponzi scheme. Medicare is as worthless as my used toliet paper. Subsidies are just another form of welfare we all pay. So on and so on. Yet it still can work with outsourcing and without. We have had those programs long before outsourcing started and we have those programs in place for all the companies that insource into the US. What American companies need to grasp or more so Americans in general is a different management strategy. |

It is this mindset that keeps people from truly attaining anything above a meager existence. Lastly, I love your blanket statement of "Tax Breaks and Funneling of Money". Do you have any examples of this or are you spouting the same bullshit I hear everyday from the far Left? And just how much taxes should someone be paying, in your world view? 10%? 20%? 50%? Or how about giving it all away.... They make so much why not just give it to every freeloading douche bag on the planet. -dd |

You can't really hold the Outsourcing from happening.
Money always move towards the best option out there. We are in business of making profits. No, but of corse, you can patriotically order a product in US, and pay 5 times more, cutting your profits out. Its up to you. |

Hard Proof - I am not seeing any examples. Show me where US corporations are dodging taxes, and at the same time outsourcing jobs overseas, which you see as a bad thing. Taxes - You did not answer the question. What do you think is a fair amount of tax on profit? What should be done with this tax? Do you favor no taxes if the big bad companies just gave 50% of the profit in a hand out to the employees? In closing, valuable employess will always be compensated. I have seen it my whole life. Employees that are commodities and can be replaced by Xing Huk in Cambodia will always be disregarded. This is life, and the person allowing themselves to stay in the situation of being someone else's tool needs to reevaluate what they are doing wrong. This whole discussion is a classic Marxist discussion. -dd |
