Make no mistake, this is the issue of the year. President Bush's chief economic adviser Greg Mankiw said recently that "outsourcing...is something that we should realize is probably a plus for the economy in the long run."

He is dead wrong in this that "in the long run it will be better for the economy" This is
WILL hurt our people here. Unless we put a stop to "outsourcing" the work force america will end up in a deep pile of poop!
Government been harping and hawing about how important it is to get an education. they dole out grants so people can get degrees in high tech fields only to allow the jobs to go over seas. Then what the heck is the point of getting an education if they won't be able to get jobs?
People are not going to settle working for 7bucks an hour at walmart or flipping burgers after getting a degree.
Stupid polititans need to get thier act together and outlaw this!

Now Tony Talking:
Hello all,
This has always been a major beef with Neo and I. We both feel this is by far the most detrimental shift happening in America and it will result in total collapse of the American work-force as well as its social economic system. It was already a huge disaster when manual labor jobs were outsourced over-seas, so to claim that outsourcing high-tech jobs is not detrimental is delusional. I mean we told the displaced farmers, mill workers, loggers and other manual laborers to spend their life savings and take out monumental loans so that they could once again become productive members of society by going into hi-tech only to outsource their jobs once again. High ranking and highly paid government officials all utilized our tax money to aid in implementing re-education programs for our displaced laboring brethren only to displace them once again, and at a time they were just about to regain their lives. On top of this, in the near future the government will probably stoop so low as to claim that we Americans have become a lazy nation due to the ever increasing number of us who have no choice but to go on welfare. This dire situation hits real close for me because I worked for a software consulting firm for 7 years which was once an awesome place to work, a home away from home that employed over 50 people and had the best reputation in the industry. To make a long story short, the owner recently sold out to Rand Corp. who of course promised better things for all the employees only to stab them in the back and hand out pink slips to 40 employees after the acquisition. I saw the inconsistencies in what Rand promised and used my limited time left at the company to start a new life for myself and begin my own business. The writing on the wall was clear to me when Rand was gloating about how well they treated their 3,000 employees in over 1,000 offices worldwide. If you do the math this equates to a 3 man office in each location. These guys even went so far as to offer me a promotional relocation position in thier new San Jose office, I refused and found out three months later that the office in that location was terminated. Now I wander what is to happen to my buddy Charlie who had the worse job in the business(IT Manager). He became a close friend of mine and we shared many good times hunting and fishing together. He worked at this company many years before I got their, but before that he was a rodeo champ then a logger and mill-worker. He was urged by his re-education counselor to get into IT and so he did so being a hardworking proud citizen. Now his days are numbered as Rand is going to move IT into a central HUB, probably offshore. Anyways, I thank you all for letting me rant as this will effect all of us and our childrens children.
Best Regards,
Tony
