We addressed the issue of curbs on outsourcing on our blog two years ago during the run up to President Obama’s election: “The popular misconception is that outsourcing always means job loss and a windfall profit for the company doing the outsourcing. Although no one should discount the hardship and uncertainty faced by an individual who has lost his or her job, nothing is that black and white. A more accurate perspective is that for companies, it is often a matter of staying afloat or struggling to grow, not getting windfalls, and with regard to jobs – when economies are not stifled by protectionism – job losses and gains tend to balance out.” http://bit.ly/dBYc4O Nothing has changed in the interim. At our off-shore legal outsourcing company / LPO (http://www.sddglobal.com), we've seen how legal outsourcing actually creates more legal jobs in the West, rather than cutting them. Every time a deal is done, or a litigation is waged, because legal services are suddenly affordable, it means more work for the Western lawyers involved in supervision, editing, negotiating, and/or appearing in court.

In free economy goods and services will move where it can be manufactured and delivered for less price. Now it is China (for manufacturing) and India (for services). In future it may go to different countries. Outsourcing which is part of Globalization can’t be stoppable.

A protectionist stance will drive US businesses elsewhere, to places where they can have more freedom to experiment on how they can grow their business. Although, outsourcing destinations should also be wary of being too open to the point that their countries, the environment and the people can easily be exploited. I agree with you.

Outsourcing has offered a lot of value in terms of revenue to the US thus the tax reforms shouldn't be aimed only at safeguarding US jobs.
