Follow the money. Colin Powell gets paid by the government and so does his son who runs the FCC. His son must be a lawyer too. What do lawyers really care if our industrial and technological base is frittered away? Most lawyers are failed actors who are morons when it comes to science and practical economics.
As in running huge trade deficits which are poison to USA.
I think we must fight this offshoring very hard. It is something fundamentally new that we have not seen before. If you don't believe this, then answer the question - what career can you educate yourself for that cannot be done more cheaply overseas? Steven Pearlstein of the Washington Post has proposed a 1% tariff on all goods and services coming into the United States. This will give the companies some additional financial consideration when they go to outsource jobs.
Secretary of State Colin L. Powell, encountering the other side of a tempestuous debate in the United States, sought to assure Indians So Colon Bowel seeks to assure Native, uhm, let's see, the Native Asians, that the gravy train will keep chugging, while he, the administration and their various Fiorinas cheerfully inform the natives of their own country "tough shiite"?! Boggles the mind, don't it?
The irony of this situation can be seen among the cat's Indian IT co-slaves, green cards, not H1B's, as far as I know, who are beginning to shake under their turbans and saris, afraid that their own jobs might end up being outsourced to, gasp, India!
