The opposition to free and fair trade (including opposing people who can do the job better getting jobs) is often racist. Can't have those brown people "Steal" American jobs by doing them better!
The key word is not "better" but "cheaper", it happened with manufacturing jobs in the past 2 decades... it started happening with other jobs now. As long as executive positions are not being outsourced Corporate America could care less about who is doing the job, and the quality of it.
In some sense it is economic suicide, sure you produce cheaper goods, but those who are in this country to buy them are out of jobs. I.e. they have no money to buy those cheap goods, and the people who produced the goods are too underpayed to afford those goods. This is why MBA schools should be shut down once and for all, they have been produced miserable failures for the past 2 decades, a ton of greedy idiot savants who are unable to see the whole picture.
I could care less if Indian companies can do the same job better, or cheaper. If that was the case Indian corporations would rule the market, if there was indeed a perfect free economic system as the article sort of tried to hint.
"Believe me when i say that american worker are most productive. if you dont believe me check the statistics yourself. "
I know USAn engineers who claim this. All I know is that we (Australians) consistently get the contracts for the new projects that we bid for, making me think this 'productivity' may be true, per hour (I doubt it) but certainly isn't per dollar.
American workers work stupidly long hours and have less holiday compared to their European counterparts but I don't think that's any kind of acheivement to be proud about.
You are obviously uninformed and ignorant to how things work in the US. Do you realize we give tax breaks to the big companies in a belief that they will hire more americans thus decreasing unemployment. Since they are NOT hiring more Americans we are shipping these tax dollars off to other countries. Since they are NOT hiring more americans then the unemployment rate can not be going down. When you see the unemployment rate in 6-8 months then shoot off your ignorant trap about how the unemployment rat

Mass producing goods doesn't make sense to do in North America anymore. This is something everyone accepts right now - and doing large scale IT work in North America also doesn't make any sense, or it's making less sense than it once did.
What is happening with manufacturing is what IS done here is increasingly specialized development - usually high end CNC machining, or other automation work. I do a nice side business working on controllers and other equipment to automate processes for small companies. The
You obviously don't work at the management/executive level. These jobs started out sourcing years and years ago. It is quite desirable for the management and executives of large corporations to be world savvy and experienced.
So, why aren't we outsourcing executive positions? Wouldn't offshoring that $40 million/year CEO position save the company a lot more than offshoring that $70,000/year programmer position? Doesn't India have any business schools?
Promptness is its own reward, if one lives by the clock instead of the sword.
