NO ONE is going to pay $80,000 a year for many of these jobs, period.

This is why the practice needs to be illegal: Once there are no longer any engineering jobs in the US, the technological leaders will be those to whom the jobs are outsourced. Once that becomes the "status quo", the United States will get all of its technological products from overseas, including the weapon systems used by the Armed Forces. Those to whom we outsource will not be providing the US with "top of the line" hardware, as that will be reserved for their own use.

Catch the drift? The end of the United States as the world's technological leader is rapidly approaching. So is its status as the ultimate world power. So is you standard of living. This may take a few years, but there is no other ending possible. By the way, this is the plan your leaders have for you.

> this is the plan your leaders have for you

I totally agree with your analysis of why engineering is so important to the US, and have posted to this effect before. I also agree that the dreamers Clinton brought on did indeed want to work for a global power structure over the US (that they could then help run). But I am wondering if you are saying that G.W. Bush is in on this too -- can you prove it?

Nope. You cannot mandate business owners to lose money to stay in business. Now, if you want to make a "national defense" case, we maintain that technology to the tune of billions of dollars a year regardless.

Gimme a break. The economic trends hardly signal that "the end of the United States as the world's technological leader is rapidly approaching," as you claim. Any evidence of this other than anecdotal?
