The problem is that because software is this ethereal invisible thing, no one can measure it or it's quality. We know the off shore code is crap. After all, 9 times out of 10 we're the ones who have to fix it even though it will still be chalked up as a success for offshoring. If they were offshoring something real, that they could look at and see the faults, that they could get their hands on, that they had to drive their cars over... they'd be screaming blue murder, and price wouldn't come into it.
