Facility: Well we were looking for a brain surgeon...
Guy: Can I train on-the-job?
Look I empathize. It sucks that corporations are send our jobs overseas. But by the time Bush or any one else plugs all the leaks and loopholes the damage will be done. There will be many displaced workers not able to make ends meet. The time to stop this was during the second term of the Clinton administration. But how was anyone going to do that when we don't even control our borders??
Now we are all going to have to wait 5 years as the Asians steal our Intellectual Property and all the outsourcing starts to be accounted for in dollars and cents. Then some companies will realize it was cheaper and more effective to do business right here.
I've gotten out of the pure software business myself. Not only do you have to compete with foreign nationals that are paid a fraction of their American counterparts you also have open source projects that can take your profit potential away from you just as fast.
The answer to the problem is control our borders. Stop with the waves of illegals who live 20 to a house and get fake IDs that keep the price down on labor as a whole. Second complain in the supermarket when you're paying the same price now for foreign produce as you used to for American. Ever tried to by a can opener?? The ones I've seen are all made in China.
