Governments role in the economy is to ensure a level playing field for all competitors. Laborers compete for work, therefore the playing field must be leveled to foster competition. Until they bridge the gap in wages there is no competition, therefore India holds the monopoly on labor.

Governments role in the economy is to ensure a level playing field for all competitors. Laborers compete for work, therefore the playing field must be leveled to foster competition. Until they bridge the gap in wages there is no competition, therefore India holds the monopoly on labor.

Actually, the Phillipines and Malaysia are beginning to undercut India. India's costs are beginning to affect the hourly rates.

There's no way to level this playing field. The big boys, like IBM and Dell, and HP, have a global presence in these companies. Indian or Phillipine code developed within IBM can be used globally, within IBM. The feds don't have the manpower to check every line of code in every program.
