"Great post, you know what you are right on with this statement,
'You want to strengthen America? Tell your neighbor to spend more time talking to his family, rather than watching TV, and take a course at night rather than buying home theater system'
Just make sure that those courses are in Law, Business, Health Care, Government and the higher level mathematics (and perhaps physics) that relate to those fields. Avoid the Sciences and Engineering; those fields will be handled by people for 20-cents on the dollar.

Don't ignore a course in Spanish as a second language. Or Chinese, if you're a long-term thinker.

After 4 Dell computers, I was already through with them. Quality had gradually decreased, tech support is apparently located in some outpost in Bangladesh, and now they seem to want to outsource everything else. Goodbye, Dell; enjoy Calcutta.

Good Post!
Got a call from I think, House Hold Bank or maybe some bank yesterday and could not for the life of me understand a dang word the woman was trying to sell me on.
Something about credit protection, I think.
I asked her where she was located and she said she was not allowed to tell me.
So I told her I would not be allowed to tell her whether or not I wanted what she was selling.

America does best when we are challenged (remember Japanese automakers?) ... As far as I can see, neither of our two remaining automakers is doing particularly well against Japan's automakers.

I know this is of little comfort to the customer service rep in Nebraska who just saw "Singh" in Bangalore take his job, but it still holds true.
Hey pssssssss ........."Singhs" are from North India (mostly Punjab) not Banglore. Banglore is in the south.

When all the companies have been outsourced who do you think will be paying those high tariffs for the products? American consumers of course.

The U.S. innovates -- when a product or service becomes a commodity, many other countries are capable of producing it cheaper. This globalization is a tremendous benefit for the U.S. economy -- however, individual workers often suffer from the transitions.

Intel?
Intel's products are almost entirely custom, although they still make flash memory last time I checked.

Thanks. It's good to have someone who takes a second to understand the article, rather than someone who beats their chest and threatens to never look at another Dell again.
The probitive shipping and inventory costs alone make overseas manufacture of American computers difficult.
Typically - at least what I've seen - is that wherever Dell decides to put a plant, supporting plants (Intel for chips and boards, to name one) immediately spring up around it to supply their need.
