Here's another opinion piece in today's WSJ that brings to the outsourcing, job loss complaints a logical argument which I haven't heard anyone express to date.

The balance of jobs we import from abroad greatly exceeds the jobs we export abroad.

Hinestly, I don't know who has the definitive numbers on this, but it certainly needs to be taken into consideration.

Read the whole thing here. Ever Heard of Insourcing?

Here's what John Kerry plans to do to stop the free flow of jobs between ourselves and the rest of the world:

As President, John Kerry would advocate more transparency by companies that are outsourcing. In other words, additional beauracracy for companies that are doing something perfectly legal.

He will direct his Cabinet Secretaries to look at procurement policies and assure wherever possible Federal contracts are not being outsourced overseas. Because we want more people working in government eating up more of our tax dollars.

John Kerry will also make sure the Federal government does not give lucrative contracts to companies that....are moving offshore.

John Kerry wants to keep jobs on the booming call center market here in America, and help provide a measure of security for telephone and Internet consumer transactions. Becuase we need to expenad the base of minimum wage, dead-end jobs and we can't trust those Indians with our credit card information anyway.
