I don't see an anti-Bush slant in there. Its about the hopelessness one feels when you turn into a commodity and the death throws you go through.
If there is an anti-Bush thing its due to his refusal to do anything about shiping his career over to India, and likewise for anyone in manufacturing to China.

This goes beyond the normal boom and bust cycle. What's the Next Big Thing? Bioinformatics. According to the dot bomb rumor site Accelrys, a major player in the field, is going to ship software development to India.
You can almost kiss the middle class goodbye. We'll become a two tiered country where there's a few CEOs and VPs and then the rest of us working at Walmart.

This has to be the most bizarre job market I've seen in years. The same big engineering firms in my area that are laying off some of their staff are also posting a bunch of "help wanted" ads in every professional journal I read.

It is still possible to make a decent living in this country. If you are good at what you do (almost regardless of what it is you do), then you will make a VERY good living.

Despite the soft job market, it's still damned near impossible to find a good young civil engineer these days.

Most of the Next Gen powerplays that will obsolete companies like Accelrys are being developed in R&D facilities in the US. Companies like Accelrys are pretty weak sauce technologically, and won't remain competitive long. Yes, a lot of software development is shipped overseas, but most of that is low-rent software development. Most of the really fancy stuff is done solely in the US.

As a general note on outsourcing software, I think it is relatively clear that it is mostly a fad. Most of the companies that I know have done it (and I've done it myself as well) have been totally underwhelmed by the value proposition in practice. There are a lot of companies in Silicon Valley who would no longer seriously consider outsourcing software development because they tried it and it didn't work. It is difficult to justify the investment when all is said and done -- most of the big outsourcing ventures by major companies is a political move in some of their major growing markets i.e. greasing the politicians of the local governments.
