Dennis Donovan, a veteran corporate-relocation consultant, said many legal and engineering firms already have outsourced routine work overseas, and he sees a bigger wave of offshoring by the burgeoning healthcare industry. At the same time, he sees fewer companies moving overseas strictly on the basis of cost.
What? How can the Republicans stop Obama when the Democrats control Congress? I am not defending the Republicans, but they just don't have power to stop anything Obama can come-up with

It's the equivalent of "The dog ate my homework". I'm surprised they didn't blame Bush for it.
Democrats and their Union stooges create a hostile, anti-American, anti-business environment and then act all surprised when American businesses flee in droves.
Then again, nobody has ever accused liberals of being in touch with reality. This is another fine example of how out of touch with reality they truly are.
And nothing seems to confuse liberals more than when the victims of their policies object....the classic line is the one about "people voting against their own self-interest." As if it is any self-respecting person's interest to desire a nanny state.

Agreed.
We have so many regulations that our manufacturers are finding it impossible to remain in the US to make a profit, so they branch out to foreign markets, which keeps their company afloat here in the US.
We lost of VCR and TV manufacturers, and the democrats want to force all the rest of manufacturing to follow suit.
Washington, D.C. , Sep 27 - By Nicole Crain and W. Mark Crain; Wall Street Journal
The annual cost of federal regulations in the United States increased to more than $1.75 trillion in 2008, a 3% real increase over five years, to about 14% of U.S. national income. This cost is in addition to the federal tax burden of 21%, for a combined cost of 35% of national income. One out of every three dollars earned in the U.S. goes to pay for or comply with federal laws and regulations, and new policies enacted in 2010 for health care and financial services will increase this burden.

So on one hand they say "tax the rich" and when the rich start leaving and taking the jobs they cry "where's the jobs" ?
Can't have it both ways and many posters warned that if the US became too burdensome these rich guys would just pick up and go elsewhere.
Well they did and this is what we are left with..welfare, food stamps, unemployment and low paying physical jobs that cannot be offshored.
Action is strong the words. When Obama start taking action on the things he said he will do, then we will talk. Other than that, it's politic as usual.

The voters who are going to vote Repub hoping for a change - you will only see a change for the worse - AND MORE OUTSOURCING.
First of all, outsourcing is not off shoring. A lot of outsourcing involves no off shoring.
Second, you probably could not afford half the goods you enjoy today if everything were made in the USA.
