No need. I am in MIS myself and my company just announced that most future JAVA work will be moved "offshore". It was met with a great howl of discontent. It is tough to see an upside to that, except for the fact that you would not be complaining if India was coming to America looking for planes or computers or Chevys. That is just fine, but not the other way around. I seem to understand economics better than you. I at least recognize that in order for us to afford all these nice things we have, we can't pay a premium for them. How many things in your house were made in China? And do you really think you could afford most of them if they were made by an American making $20 an hour?

It is a false belief that products made in America would cost too much to afford. Many itmes are made here and are affordable. Maybe that VCR would cost $150 instead of $125. Maybe that phone would cost $35 instead of $25. But, Americans with money would buy more of MY products than China or India. As such, it is better to ensure Americans are working than ensuring the Chinese are working. Besides, who can buy even the Chinese stuff if no one in America is working because everything is made overseas? The argument of cheap overseas products doesn't hold up.
