3. Here's what Insourcing is.........

Insourcing is when a company like Intel or GE decides it can save money by getting rid of it's copyroom / mailroom by contracting with IKON or Canon to come in and run it for them. Many times the contractor or vendor will also hire the copyroom / mailroom employees or the Intel/GE may require that the vendor do that as part of the agreement. Mailroom/copyroom employee just gets their check signed from a different company now....(among other things)

5. and almost always lesser benefits, lower pay

worse working conditions, longer hours or staff reductions.

Kudlow is a simpering sycophant. He represents the worst of the repuke capital is everything mentality. If he ever had to actually work for an hour, he'd disintegrate.

4. Honda opens up a plant in Michigan

I think that's what he's talking about.

6. I'd like to know how significant it is

I mean, comparing jobs lost by outsourcing to jobs gained by insourcing. I wonder if there's any figures.
