You pick the town, you pick the spot on Main Street, and you pick the first person walking by and ask them the following question: Is it a good thing for America that good-paying jobs are now going overseas, that businesses are outsourcing their jobs to foreign countries and taking jobs away from Americans? You know the answer. True or false: Is it good or bad for American companies to be eliminating jobs in the United States and outsourcing them overseas? That is what is before us. That is the question. If you think the answer is obvious, it is not obvious to the President, nor to his economic advisers because the President's economic adviser, Mr. Mankiw, reported to Congress on his behalf a few weeks ago that it was, indeed, a good thing we are now outsourcing jobs to other countries.
