Outsourcing means that not only will jobs be lost but the skills associated with any particular craft or profession will also go.

The tax revenue will be paid into the coffers of the host nation's government while the USA loses out.

While outsourcing may have some short term benefits, profit wise, long/medium term we lose;-

Jobs, skills and tax revenue.

Manufactures should be making an investment in training and improving the capability of the nation's workforce to meet their requirements and not taking the short term option of exporting jobs.
