For nearly 20 years, many have been speaking out about the fallacy of IT offshore outsourcing, and that all the touted benefits are the biggest lie the American public has been told. Back in 2008, two years before the infamous incident that led to the failure of the MegaBig Health Insurance Company of America in 2010(*), I wrote about the reasons for impending change of fortune for off-shoring.
