SPAM - US Senate passes law against outsourcing

This is only for contracts by federal govt, major chunk of that are defense related - that do not go anywhere anyway! So this is not much.

I am against any blockage of so-called free trade. When American companies handle most of the government contracts of other countries then why should it have this restriction! One way traffic...
 
You are right j54231

They should have passed this bill 2 yrs before. I know one guy was working in a federal govt. proj and was knocked out because of outsourcing to India.
 
Its confusing how they are going to implement this. This mandate is an unimplementable law. Companies dont have to outsource. They may just get cheaper labour and continue the task here !

Moreover, defense contracts (which is probably the only ones affected) wont go to just any company !
 
I would call this a practice of "Double Standards". When US actively advocates "Free Global Trade" and "Open Markets" then why such a measure is needed.

Several US companies benefit from working for Govts of other countries. It will hurt more to US economy if govts of other countries start slapping such restrictions on US companies.

Where are we going from here from "Open Markets" and "Free Global Trade" to old age "Closed Markets" and "Restricted Trade" or "Tariff based trade" or what ... ?

Anyway, the amount of outsourcing from US Govt is only 2% of total chunk, so I guess it would not matter much. Also, the Job aspirants in US might not see any significant improvement due to this bill.

This is just my own opinion, nothing professional or legal.
