Your Excel entry example makes perfect sense to me as an outsourcing option.I think we should outsource the time consuming intellectual / electronic / virtual work and free ourselves up to innovate, create, and do what we're good at or love to do.I think we should insource premier talent, R&D, manufacturing, farming.... things that require serious talent and/or serious shipping costs, or relate to national security and well-being (energy, farming)If we cultivate a reputation as a source of innovation, top-notch talent at top-notch salaries, and high quality manufactured products that we stand behind - I think the U.S. can remain strong into the forseeable future.If we continue to not look beyond the bottom line in business - we're doomed - we can't hope to compete with China, India, Brazil...
