Good you deserve Dean.

Great reply. Let me get this right. GWB and all Washington politicians are selling out this country and we will become a third world nation because we have nothing left to produce. China and India will control the global economies and we will be getting our marching orders from Beijing.

So tell me how GWB is pro American?

Talk about zombie mentality. Wake up and smell the tea from India and China.

You trivialize this issue to much. This is not just an 'IT' issue but will affect many other professions.

This is a very good summary of the danger of offshoring. We are potentially taking the gas out of the engine that runs our economic machine. Professional IT runs the bowels of corporate America and the inability to identify what should stay or go is a life or death decision for a company considering offshoring.

Our current business leaders lack vision beyond the next quarter and run the risk of destroying a lot of shareholder wealth in pursuit of those quarterly numbers.

You should read the book Animal Farm, or better yet there's a film version of it.

No, actually you deserve him. You are going to get him because this guy has a beef, and its real. The trend is bad for businesses, bad for national security, bad economically in ways you haven't even considered yet.

If you are the hater of liberals as you are, then you need this guys vote, and my vote too.

He's right, Bush is massively vulnerable on this topic. Anyone reasonable that comes out and says, "Why should my son or daughter go to school and get an engineering degree? This President thinks that ceding one of the only real advantages we still possess in the US, that of software engineering and development, to countries like China, India, Pakistan, and Indonesia is sound Homeland Security policy, and sound economic policy as well. This is the same party that wailed about the sale of sensitive satellite technology to China, but lifts nary a finger when a half a million, high paying, strategically critical jobs go to the ChiComs. By all means, Mr. President, let Bank of America outsource its back office operations to Beijing. Let Verizon outsource its billing to Israel. Let India handle all of our IO/IW software component development. When it comes to oil, you are all about domestic production, but when it comes to IT, its better that we rely on future generations of Chinese, Indians, Pakistanis, and Russians to develop new operating systems, switches, network technology, and application development - after all, we need more law school graduates here in the US, where during your administration, the only segment of the economy to grow was the litigation industry."

Now, I'm a republican, and that was pretty easy to write.

So, if you want Dean, then keep it up with the flip responses to people with Masters Degrees that have followed all the rules and got hammered with very little warning.

Only Hillary can save W. She will. Tha, & only that, will compell us to vote.
