[Age of Reason]

Get over it. If you lost your job to outsourcing go back and read about the guy who lost his job making buggy whips. Take a lesson from him and get back in the game. Nobody owes you a job and unless you want totalitarian government nobody is going to give you one because "they care".

Well then, the only way America will be able to compete, is when it costs as little to live here as it does in India.

Real estate has a long way to fall before it's as cheap to buy a house here as in India.

Otherwise, no matter what that former buggy whip maker decides to next, he'll soon find that career sent overseas, too.

Big mistake for our civilization to have sold its knowledge and tools to the third world.

Nothing good will come of it in the long run.

"Well then, the only way America will be able to compete, is when it costs as little to live here as it does in India."

What about supplying goods that people in India can't get anywhere else? Even if those goods are as basic as wheat? What you are saying is that we should take our ball and go home because some other country has a lower standard of living. Do you seriously think for one minute that they are going to say "Okay, see ya"? They'll be selling us stuff like crazy at lower prices. And while we sit over here and whine about jobs and outsourcing our citizens will be clamoring for their lower cost goods because our wages have gone down. Reality.
