Regarding the story “Warner Bros. to ship jobs overseas,” Jan. 10:

I propose that Warner Bros. and other companies that outsource overseas to India, Poland and other non-U.S. territories begin to right-source these functions to places such as Poland, Ohio, or Romulus, Mich.

If companies, such as Warner Bros. and NBC Universal, continue to outsource good-paying job overseas, who here will be able to afford to purchase DVDs produced by the U.S. studios or will be able to afford to go to the movies?

Instead of outsourcing overseas, increasing the U.S. unemployment rate and increasing the U.S. deficit, companies should right-source in order to improve their own bottom lines, keep U.S. tax revenues in the U.S. and help reduce the mounting deficit.

Right-sourcing as opposed to outsourcing overseas to India or Poland would take advantage of the existing pool of finance, accounting and information technology resources that already exists in places like Poland, Ohio, and Romulus, Mich.

It is my hope that outsourcing overseas goes out with the Bush administration.
