How has outsourcing affected party positions?
(The) Democratic party in terms of outsourcing is more willing to view outsourcing as a problem; much more willing to prioritizing it as a problem and part of this has to do with the strong labor wing of the Democratic party; the unions being a strong part of the Democratic party and the unions wanting to keep jobs here in America with American labor force. The Republican party is much more willing to take a free market approach to this or a laissez faire approach which is the idea that, you know, yes these jobs are being outsourced but in response, if competent people are doing these jobs for cheaper--which means that the end product is going to be cheaper as well and so Americans win out in the long run because although jobs are lost, those people can be re-trained for better educated or higher trained positions or so forth and the end result is going to be products that are made more efficiently or cheaper. Now, again, this is not one of those issues that we can easily divide all Democrats and all Republicans on; there's definitely many Republicans, especially part of their constituency in the South, which sends me more blue collar working class and in the Mid West who does not like outsourcing and there's lots of Republicans who have to treat outsourcing as a problem so that becomes an issue on that sense.
