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.

The ripple effect of this is huge. You can’t gut the middle class and hope to remain a world leader.

Beijing is having a good laugh at our expense.

I can’t believe the number of replies on this subject that dismiss this out of hand. They bitch and moan about the UN but they have no problem running $300B trade deficits with China.

This is it in a nutshell. Unfortunately, these same myopic midgets have way too much lobbying influence with government.

I used to be a big fan of Warren Buffet until I read that he contributes to Democrats, even to Her Heinous, Hitllary, and is against the repeal of the estate tax, the death knell to many start up family businesses.
