Offshoring Is Bad For America

Think about the offshoring issue for too long, with too open a mind, and I promise you’ll go nuts.

David Coursey takes an interesting pass through the outsourcing conundrum. It's not a simple issue, and there's plenty of quality positions to go around. While I don't think some of his ideas are tenable, some of the basic conclusions are on the money and I'm glad someone is taking a creative look at this, since the two extreme positions are not viable in my mind. I also think there's something in what he says about taxing the incoming code as an import. Of course it doesn't work in real life, but there the germ of an idea there.
