There is no way that anyone can convince me that outsourcing benefits the American people. I know many people whom worked in the manufacturing business and lost their jobs to outsourcing.

How is that fair, he had to leave his home and move somewhere that he knew nothing about and had never been to. So he uproots his family, tries to sell his home in that short of period but doesn’t and moves to Texas. Once down there he rents a home while still paying for the one here in Indiana, then to his surprise he gets laid off three months later.

The sad thing is that the company paid to move him down there but did nothing to get him and his family back home. This is the outcome of many people that works for a company that decides to outsource their business. The American people are left stuck between a rock and hard spot.

Their life was comfortable one minute and a disaster the next, they couldn’t afford to buy groceries, pay their mortgage or any bills. They didn’t know what they were going to do, the family helped out as much as possible but it wasn’t...
