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.

What flip resopnses? It called economics. A grocery chain in my area has introduced self-serve checkout. The way it is set up, one checker now does the job four used to, thus effectively outsourcing 3 checker jobs.

Should this practice, according to you, be banned?

Oh sheesh, you ooze demo talking points.

Oh BTW, if you owned a business and tried to cut costs of doing business, how would you feel if a government beureaucrat said you couldn't. Or are you going to give another demo talking point on how all business owners are evil.

BTW, how come you just bash Bush and not the demos, who try to block tax cuts(which benefit American businesses and consumers) at every juncture.

Sadly, you are right. I really want to like (and I do in many aspects) GW, but encouraging outsourcing will result in a national security disaster.

Indeed, just thinking about the ChiComs calling the shots on future high end tech development gives me the willies.

Well said, RinaseaofDs.
