"Outsourced" is a made-up political word, and it's maddening how many of us use this word. Of course, it sounds much better than what it really means -- American corporations too greedy to pay livable wages or taxes send American jobs to dictatorial countries where the work is done for pennies an hour. "Economists" can sugar-coat it all they want, but this is not, never was, and never will be in America's best interest.
