The American word is pimping.
Lots of American workers and businesses were unable to bid these jobs, and would've made much better components. After I suggested that Zivko in Oklahoma would've made better fuselages, a female Boeing exec asked me, "how many Boeings will Oklahoma buy". They deserve to go under.

You are looking at the wrong reason for why manufacturing has been outsourced. As long as people keep believing the government lie, and blame it on corporations I guess we'll keep seeing things like this. Hard to employ American workers when unions are in bed with the same politicians that are taxing and regulating corporations into bankruptcy. But hey, everyone wanted "hope and change" right?
