 Where our goods come from, and who is producing them, plays a huge part in the cost for those goods and services we enjoy. So this week with that in mind, let's discuss outsourcing.

What is outsourcing? Is it good or bad for the American economy? And how often do you focus strictly on "buying American"? What stops you from doing so? What could be done to make buying American products more accessible?
