I am sorely opposed to giving US jobs away to people who don't spend their money in our towns on our products... So I liked seeing this article. My company killed part of their outsourcing program, and it made our lives as employees BETTER, we didn't have to cover for a bunch of (while decent enough, totally incompetent) guys in India.

Excellent! I firmly believe in "produce it here/hire here". Outsourcing has weakened this country a lot and the more companies that bring jobs back here,the better off we'll be.

I completely agree.
not me (obviously)
While some countries may produce some products more efficiently than others, it's nice to hear that a company is bringing jobs to the U.S.
Apple is going to make some Macs in the U.S.

The government regardless of party has made doing business in America nearly impossible - taxes out the ying-yang, regulation galore, catering to special interest group's demand for unreasonable restrictions and union thuggery demanding more and more for less and less - then politicians get up there and accuse companies of being greedy by just trying to keep the doors open, so they move and I can't blame them.
You want to know why companies outsource and leave ... look no further than Washington.
