>I see everything business as being cyclical and have no reason to believe outsourcing is otherwise. All it would take is for the government to incent companies to keep business in country and maybe penalize those who move it out. Bottom line changes, business strategy changes, jobs return.

Sorry for lurking :o) but I agree with you. However, the key will be getting the government to create incentives for businessess to continue to operate inside the U.S. and hire from within. Incentives that will outweigh any rewards for moving outside the U.S. (or whatever country we are referring to) That probably won't happen anytime soon and in the meantime...
