The government will have just about as much luck stopping offshoring as the RIAA has with stopping the downloading of music.

Can you say tariffs? A tax on offshoring easily collectable and not cost effective to avoid.

Define what exactly "offshored software" means. Does it mean if one small component was developed in India, does that make it an "offshored product?" The only people that are going to benefit from these tariffs are the lawyers who get to tie up the courts as they try to split hairs on just what exactly constitutes "offshored software."

I can say "tarriffs". Can you say: "job subsidies"? Why do you want the federal government to subsidize your income? When you call for tarriffs to protect your job, you are calling for increased prices for some so you can enjoy an increased life style at their expense. Sounds like a theme more at home in the democrat party.

Do you think it would happen? Sounds great, but do you honestly think either party would push this through? Sure the Republicans would like to help American businesses, and the dems would be using it to help the unions, but Joe Blow on the street is going to yell and scream when the price of his tv or radio or whatever shoots up.
