And shouldn't India do so in reciprocation? They're not.
Rubbish! This does not imply that we have to move our high tech jobs over to India. One of these days we are going to have to embrace the fact that the global integration of economy will destroy this nation. When we lose our technical edge do you think that people like India will "help us out." Powell is not doing his job, he is suppose to represent American citizens, not Indian ones.
Our forefathers never would have stood for this. The elites in this country will destroy in a generation what it took 13 to build up.
The Indians are laughing as they import more American careers, they are laughing at Powell and they are laughing at us.
Powell has it backwards. Economic policy is tool for national security, not a doormat. It is embarassing to see him overthere kowtowing to a third world country that opposed us throughout the Cold War and that even now is developing high tech weoponry with Russia.
The current administration does not have enough people in it that understand high tech economies.
