HiTech, I find your depiction of our President highly insulting.

[Cronos]

Yes, and that could happen in the US as well. Your point?

Furthermore, the price difference isn't going to last. The WTO is forcing both those countries to go in for full convertibility, the US$ is falling against most currencies, soon, the PPP will be 1:1

[HiTech RedNeck]

Oh for cryin' out loud. It's the hat wearer in a bunch of Swedish dancers who don't even look drunk.

[HiTech RedNeck]

A lot easier to dig it out in India.

[HiTech RedNeck]

What did I say?

[HiTech RedNeck]

(Irony)

[HiTech RedNeck]

Yeah, you run circles why the rest of us think and use our brains.

N'est-ce-parse

[kittymyrib]

I admire the Russians for adopting the flat tax, too, something we should have done 20 years ago and that our worthless "leaders" still won't touch.

[HiTech RedNeck]

soon, the PPP will be 1:1

The grunts working in the credit service offices over there will be earning the same for it as what Americans are in similar offices here?

[HiTech RedNeck]

The groans of special interests, and just Joe Mortgagedtothehilt Homeowner, would split the earth.

[SeeRushToldU_So]

So voting for a canidate that will give you a pay cut (raise taxes) for your next job will help you? How?

[Cronos]

N'est-ce-parse

It's n'est-ce pas. Si vous voulez écrivez les mots en une langue, vous devez l'étudier. Learn the right way, or dare I say it, the write way.

[Cronos]

Yes. you understood! The grunts over there will earn the same as the grunt over here because the PPP will be 1:1

[HiTech RedNeck]

"Does not parse." Spoken in vain to the humor-impaired

Outsource a whole bunch of Congressional staff jobs. The squealing of fired bureaucrats will be deafening.

My stock broker likes to get on the radio financial shows and tout the “benefits of outsourcing.” As soon as I can find an Indian Brokerage Firm, I intend to outsource HIS job. We’ll see how he likes that!

The only people in favor of outsourcing are those who think their own jobs are immune.

Guys, Sorry, but that happened a few years ago when unregistered foreign agents were assigned the U. S. of A. trade representative jobs. Peace and love, George.

So, What's wrong with this Overseas Private Investment Corporation that you harp on constantly. I finally broke down and read their web page. You know what, I support what they do. It's an insurance company that provides its clients with "political unrest" insurance and the firms that utilize this form of "risk pooling" are paying the premiums. I don't see it so much as "corporate welfare" as I do than a private business that provides a unique form of insurance. So what if the company's re-insurer happens to be the federal government? Did you happen to catch that this OPIC, indirectly, provides 1/4 million U.S. jobs and $65 billion in U.S. exports. Sounds like the United States citizens have a vested interest in the programs success.

[LowCountryJoe]

You know, I'm highly offended that you trying to get the moderator into that discussion. Get out of the kitchen already!

Your example of your stock broker is a perfect illustration of the benefits of trade, only on a micro level and at the domestic locale. Tell me, why is it that you use a broker? Think of every factor that goes into that decision that you've made. Next, take those same factors [if you're normal, this exercise should work as intended] and apply them to the issue of "outsourcing" of jobs to India.

More proof that our schools are failing our kids: Evidence of how stupid American students (and teachers) are has been slowly amassing. The creeping cretinism is confirmed by reports like "A Nation at Risk." Especially indicative are the below-international-average scores of 17-year-olds. One out of four children is dropping out and not graduating. High schools have been so dumbed down that even average students sit bone idle. Fully 50 percent of students with IQs that border on mental retardation manage to pass. Unlike our European counterparts, American universities, colleges and even corporations spend a fortune on teaching students elementary things they should have learned in high school. College professors attest to a decline in the quality of students entering colleges.
