Hi tech jobs are not moving offshore because of law suits. They are moving because artifically devalued currencies make it SEEM cost-efficient. The free traitors will argue that in the "long run" China, India etc are hurting themselves by doing this. The flaw in that theory is that before the "long run" is over we will be at war with China, and need the production from their factories.

If, that is, China's Enron-style accounting and demograhpic time bombs don't wreck it before then.

They would not consider bailing out if they didn't have to put up with so much BS here. It ain't the money - it's a lot of the BS and crap they take.

But it's always easier to blame "devalued currency" or "free traitors" than it is to fix the real problems in our economic structure. There needs to be some serious common sense brought to our tort system, regulatory system, and tax cdoe quickly, or people won't want to do business here.

What hi-tech jobs are left in this country are being given to foreigners via the H1B visa program which in reality has no cap since the exceptions are anything connected to education or non-profits, which amounts to hundreds of thousands more than the 200,000 yearly cap.
In 2000 there were 163,000 H1b visas and an additional 342,000 H1b visas issued in the exempt catagories. In 2001, it was 79,000 and 215,000 respectively.
Outsourcing, H1B and L1 visas, illegal immigrations, Nafta and Gaat, abortion and other anti family social trends are killing off Americans much faster than all the terrorist in history. What is the solution? You can't handle the truth ...or can you?
