Ain’t that the truth! Besides, before people get too cheery about India, let’s not forget that they are not really an ally of ours. They might like our dollars, but they are not friends. We should be sinking that navy...
What do you have against H1B visa workers? Most are computer programmers, which is easy to learn, and that is why there are ten’s of millions of programmers in Asia. We benefit by importing cheap programmers. My advice to programmers is acquire something more difficult to learn skill such as chemical engineering, bio-medical engineering, etc. because there is a chronic shortage of skilled people in those fields.
Maybe that’s why the US is selling the Indian navy P-8 aircraft and probably S-70 helos.
