I had written about the article before...but I think it is timely to refer to it one more time. In a blog post which survived in cyber space Donald Trump squarely supported outsourcing.
His actual words at the time were:
"We hear terrible things about outsourcing jobs — how sending work outside of our companies is contributing to the demise of American businesses. But in this instance I have to take the unpopular stance that it is not always a terrible thing."
Trump noted a study "that showed how global outsourcing actually creates more jobs and increases wages, at least for IT workers":
"The study found that outsourcing helped companies be more competitive and more productive. That means they make more money, which means they funnel more into the economy, thereby, creating more jobs."
"I know that doesn't make it any easier for people whose jobs have been outsourced overseas, but if a company's only means of survival is by farming jobs outside its walls, then sometimes it's a necessary step. The other option might be to close its doors for good."
