Furthermore, the outsourcing comes from the fact that this country has the highest corporate taxes in the world.
Another fact you might have forgot...they are "PRIVATE" companies, the government has NO business telling a private enterprise they can't do business over seas.
We're still a free society with private enterprises, the democrats haven't got their way...just yet.

Senate GOP blocks bill that would promote less outsourcing

The latest jobs bill from Senate Democrats - a plan to punish firms that ship jobs overseas - failed to clear a key procedural hurdle Tuesday after even some Democrats complained that the measure would hamper the ability of U.S. companies to compete in foreign markets.
Four Democrats and Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (I-Conn.) voted with a united Republican caucus to block the bill, which was crafted to address the 9.6 percent unemployment rate in the run-up to November's midterm elections. On a vote of 53 to 45, the measure failed to garner the
60 votes needed to overcome a GOP filibuster.
Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) defended the bill as a "simple, common-sense" effort to "keep American jobs here in America" and to "stop forcing taxpayers in Nevada and across the nation to pay for giveaways that reward companies for sending American jobs overseas."
But Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) dismissed the bill as "a purely political exercise" that never had a chance of becoming law.
Now after reading your statement that is quoted above, you have the guts to question where the jobs are.....duh It is just plain common sense that if manufacturing was not shipped to other countries that there would not be a job problem here in the USA.
