From what I've read on the 'outsourcing' issue, the savings are very short term to the corporations and eventually comes back to bite them in the butt. I know because I joined this company at the time its previous 'outsourcing' blew up in their face and we had to scramble to fix the problem.
I personally fault the shortsightedness of the corporate "leaders" who've allowed this state of affairs to happen.
No, those of us who are affected will find other jobs, develop other skills and get on with our lives. It's just a shame that a good corporation can be so pathetically lead or rather mislead.
Then there's the ulterior motive that many believe is behind this, at least in the case of some companies. A CEO is hired for the express purpose of trimming the "fat" so it can be merged, sold, or otherwise taken over by other corporations and thus the 'stockholders' reap the profits. And it doesn't take much to figure out who the 'stockholders' are in this case.
1) Phase out minimum wage.
2) Bring our troops home. Stop playing world policmen. If a company moves to Bangalore or Mexico, then it's up to India or Mexico to defend it.
3) Scrap income tax and go to national sales tax. At the same time end corporate tax (in conjunction with ending corporate "personhood")
4) Get control the borders. Give temporary worker status ONLY to those who ENTER through legal channels, rather than letting those already here illegally stay.
5) Shrink domestic spending, as opposed to creating Bush-style senior drug bureacracies, farm aid and nationalizing petty airport baggage tyrants.
6) Forbid federal workers from unionizing. Laws which restrict the fedgov are good. Fire 'em if they organize.
7) Phase out the more onerous OSHA, EPA, etc. requirements. Does the U.S. really need a handiramp glombed onto every podunk mom & pop shop? Safety rails atop 3 foot elevations?
