The outsourcing effect has been ongoing for 25 years. The 'head' (as in hydropwer) is diminishing though and the jobs drain may be just about finished now. If we can reduce some of our own inefficiencies and high costs, prosperity just might sneak up on us when we least expect it.

A reverse outsourcing? Once something is put into motion, it gains momentum. Once it has that speed, it tends to keep the speed it already has.

Only by applying a force against it slows down or chnages the direction it is travelling. Then it eventually stop.
And then, can be reversed.

But while all those forces are playing, for a given intended end (reverse outsourcing) the law of unintended consequences creeps in.
