"by offshoring our accounts payable handling we will create the budget to hire 200 new hardware and software engineers" But then we will offshore the hardware and software engineers to create the budget to fund what? Follow the logic and it turns on itself like a self-eating snake. Hmm, where have I seen that analogy before?

Plain and simple offshoring represents the fleecing of America once again. By moving expertise offshore we will grow to be a renters ecomony that only knows one thing: "you want fries with that!".

Ask yourself, why does US tax law favor International investments like offshoring at the expense of US jobs? Where are the actual numbers that show benefits of offshoring to the United States. The unemployment numbers are clear and easy to find.

The most disturbing thing is the notion that someone might actually believe this crap.
