Hmmm, if I can hire a competant Indian programmer for $16K per year at the same skillset level as a US-based one and save that kind of money, I can buy more clothes (that are most likely produced in third-world countries via cheap labor) and buy more electronic goods that are most likely built via cheap foriegn labor (perhaps Mexico) and I can brag about being a good American while waving my US flag that is probably made in China by cheap labor...
the only thing you could brag about in this scenario is that you would be Labret's poster boy for the indoctrinated consumer.

on the contrary, you could save the money, use it to invest in other aspects of you business or in other businesses.

the businessmen and women making the outsourcing decisions do not contemplate such fanciful uses for the proceeds.
