Ever considered the possibility that more government restriction will lead more employers to move those ops offshore?

Agreed, but then I think it becomes a matter of removing the disparity in our costs of labor, primarily between our country and India and China. With India, we have to bring down their tariffs (second highest in the world) and with China, I'm pretty sure there are tariffs to contend with as well as the primary driver which is that the yuan is pegged to our dollar at a 8.3 to 1 ratio making their costs 8 times as cheap as ours.

We need (and the Bush Administration is currently working on this but it's an uphill battle) to get that disparity to be lessened significantly over the next couple years so that the playing field will even out more.
