Why not? If we reduce or stop outsourcing altogether, American workers aren't going to be working for 3rd world wages, so corporate profits will inevitably go down.

I agree, and this is destroying the American economy as a whole.

I'm curious as to HOW you would decrease outsourcing?
I'm not sure how, other than place a cap on the amount of outsourcing a company is allowed to do, while the rest of the jobs they would have had for outsourcing would go to Americans. Hell, give them a tax break or credit as incentive.

what political or economic action would have the power to decrease outsourcing?
Sadly, a stimulus plan or tax credit.
