Csnnot blame India for doing so. It is in their interests. The onus is on the traitorous US corporations for their role in this farce. BTW how come since all these brilliant MBA CEO's started shipping jobs overseas has the economy went in the sinkhole? Any correlation? Like to see what these "brilliant" strategist can spin to 'splain that away.

I don't like the idea of a foriegn power conspiring with American companies to control legislation that is not in the best interest of the American people. Our government must act on our behalf an not the people of India.

Why the "brilliant" dig at MBAs? They are brilliant ... for their own short term gain. That's why we need governmental leadership on this offshoring trend. Businesses are always going to look out for their bottom line, they can't be counted on to worry about the health of the economy.
I think Bush needs to learn that part of leadership, he can't just sit back and watch the market. I don't want him to control the market, to pick the winners and losers, but rather for him to set some ground rules down. And one of those should be that in order for America to growth there has to be some incentive to keep jobs here.
Bush has "that vision thing" (to use his dad's phrase) downpat on our war on terrorism. Now just look at the economy and realize that we're heading for disaster.

It's hard to blame corporations either, really. The company is like a handful of water. It will probe everywhere to find the leak, and exploit it when it finds it. This is what a good management team does. It finds the best bottom line for it's stockholders. If government policy changes to seal the leak, it won't be used, and equilibrium between competing companies is restored, and increased costs are passed along. I guess the question is, are we willing to pay more for computer services in order to keep the jobs American?
