Basically what this is all about is transferring US jobs out of the country in order to "fatten" the annual bonuses of the CEO's and exec's. Many of the oversea's hi tech types studied in the US at US taxpayer expense. Now they're back to take away the jobs.

My sympathies to anyone who's losing a job over outsourcing to India. But the more I read about this problem, the more jaded I'm becoming. I never made $60,000 plus a year. Why should I care about these $60,000/yr jobs being lost? I'm retiring soon. I want the cheapest damn price for every service I get, for every article of clothing that I buy. Why should I sympathize with these guys? It's everybody for themself in this economy.

Nobody sympathized with the Rust Belt states when their steel jobs went overseas. Now it's the turn of other sectors of our economy. It's no fun, right? Maybe their areas will start to look like the run down steel mill towns that litter the Western PA landscape. They can turn it into a waterfront mall and pay people minimum wage to work there.
