QUOTE OF THE DAY"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security,unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs,you would not hear of that party again in our political history.There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can dothese things.Among them are Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politicianor business man and they are stupid."- Dwight Eisenhower, November 8, 1954

One can tell you are on the Democrat's side in this debate, simply because math is involved.

If ten people take a test and 9 score 100 and one test-taker scores zero, then 90% of the test takers are above average, not five as you claim.

Again, you are sloppy with your definitions. EVERY company "outsources." They outsource security, janitorial services, insurance, grounds maintenance, air conditioning repair, and so on. Even governments "outsource." For example, my town outsources residential garbage removal to Browning-Ferris, a private concern.

I THINK you meant "offshoring," instead of "outsourcing," but it's hard to tell.

Republicans can't do math? Thanks for confirming my suspicion :-).

You can get any result you want in a sample that size. But human intelligence of a large group fits the normal bell-shaped curve. If you don't know what that is, ask a Democrat :-).

And you're sloppy in your assertions. You meant that "today" most companies "outsource". And you're right. I know of some when I was working that outsourced only insurance - but that's like claiming they outsourced the gasoline they used in the company cars :-).

But as far as "offshoring", the definition of outsourcing has no reference to locale - it serves for both domestic and foreign.
