The good news is that the problem is starting to be recognized. The bad news is that Demon-rats are taking the lead on it; I would much prefer Republican names on the study.

To be honest... I feel better about Democrats taking the lead on this.

Please forgive me for being rather slow on the uptake - but could you be so kind as to explain your thinking on this? Do you regard the out-sourcing issue as a non-problem?

Well to be honest, when it comes to working people and protecting their jobs from corporate interests, Democrats do seem to work harder.
Here we see Democrats asking for a study on the issue. The Bush Admin is reassuring India that outsourcing opportunities will continue.
I am a die hard conservative, but I just don't see the GOP doing anything to protect my job from going to India or China.
