Same crap I heard in the 80's and the answer is no.
As long as we can keep the liberals (read socialists) at bay, we'll be in good shape.
Now, let's force some reform to our F-U'd judicary.....
Is it just me .. or have the hounds of hell been unleashed upon this country - I'm just stunned by all these attacks.

Really - and did you see this in the 80's too?
Bell Labs has moved its labs to China and India for research, and to
Ireland for manufacturing.
What is BLRC?
Founded on Mar. 23, 2000, Bell Labs Research China (BLRC) is the first
research laboratory Bell Labs established outside the United States.
BLRC is a center of technical excellence and innovation to strengthen
the support to Lucent business units and customers in the China and Asia
Pacific region. It primarily concentrates its efforts on applications.
It develops innovative ideas, implements them by prototypes, and
transfers these results to Lucent product houses and Lucent Worldwide
Services (LWS). BLRC also do fundamental research in the fields of
Internet technologies, software, wireless communications, optical
networks, computer science, and applied mathematic
Bell Labs Research, India, launched in October 2004, is located in
Bangalore, India's silicon city. The research center is an integral part
of Bell Labs, Lucent's world-renowned research and development arm. More
than any other institution, Bell Labs has helped weave the technological
fabric of modern society. Its scientists and engineers have made seminal
scientific discoveries, and have launched technological revolutions that
have reshaped the way people live, work and play.
Technologies originating at Bell Labs have largely defined the modern
era: transistors, lasers, communications satellites, digital
transmission, touch-tone phones, cellular telephony, fiber-optic
communications, digital encryption of data, fax machines, modems, the
UNIX operating system, the C language, and many more. Bell Labs has
produced 11 Nobel laureates, and Bell Labs scientists receive more than
2 patents a day.
The research program at the Bell Labs center in India will continue the
tradition of innovation and scientific excellence that is synonymous
with the Bell Labs name. Our focus will be on developing
state-of-the-art software systems for enabling the world's leading
wireline and wireless service providers to deploy and manage high-speed,
highly reliable networks.
We intend to work with the best and brightest minds produced by India's
world-class educational institutions to deliver a continuous stream of
software innovations to Lucent' products and services portfolio. Due to
the explosive growth that the communications industry has witnessed in
the past few years, our customers in the region face unique challenges.
We will partner closely with Lucent's customers as they deploy new
technologies (e.g., cellular data), and devise innovative solutions to
their most challenging problems.
Bell Labs Research in Ireland
Bell Labs has opened a new central research centre in Ireland in 2004.
The centre will serve as a global focal point for research in the
telecommunications and supply chain fields.
Seeded in part by the Industrial Development Agency in Ireland, the new
research centre is expected to bring significant benefits to both Lucent
and Ireland. For Lucent, it will help deliver even quicker
time-to-market cycles for new technologies and streamline our platforms,
ensuring our products are the most cost-efficient to manufacture and
support and for our customers to deploy and maintain.
Bell Labs Ireland will focus on research in the field of engineering,
manufacturing and supply chain technologies. These research areas will
encompass emerging network technologies, RF circuits and systems,
photonics, test and reliability technologies and value chain optimisations.
The Bell Labs Centre is located in the Lucent Technologies facility in
the Blanchardstown Industrial estate. See the directions below for more
information.
