Bain Profited From Outsourcing Under Romney 
--------------------------------------------


 
Mitt Romney continues to face scrutiny over his time at the helm of the
private equity firm Bain Capital. The Washington Post reports that under
Romney's leadership, Bain invested in a number of companies that
specialized in outsourcing U.S. jobs overseas to lower-wage countries
like China and India. Bain's holdings spanned a number of firms that
were known as pioneers in the practice of sending jobs to call centers
and factories making computer parts abroad.
