Do you realize that all these American Companies that are being set up overseas are leaking all the technical know-how to foreign governments who will use it against us??

Why are some people so stupid!!

This is an economic war, and India and China are going to suck us dry and drain all our manufacturing and knowlege based technologies ut of the country using slave labor wages to do it, and all some of you here can do is cheerlead it!!

These doom and gloom posts are so funny. There is a very good chance that we will experience a GDP of 6.5% or greater, millions of jobs will be created as people and companies open their pursestrings, and all you can say is but, but...

Kind of like the guy who wins a million dollars, but complains that the guy that gave him the check had shifty eyes. The refusal to see the possibility of something good is an curious phenomena that is ingrained in these posts. The world is changing, things are getting better, American's a strong and resourceful people, the nation will survive and still be the envy of the world. Thank you very much.

I agree in part; Indian and China are not doing it to us, we are doing it to ourselves, they are just happy to pick up the work.

What I see is that this outsourcing guarantees that a lot of money gets taken out of circulation here. These myopic people may save some costs, but what's spent doesn't return. So the economy is not helped by this practice at all.

What are the long-term effects? We've seen the impact of trade deficits, particularly when Japanese cars were all the rage after the 1973 OPEC torpedo. It took Detroit almost a decade to engineer practical solutions and become competitive again.

A practical solution to this is something I can't see on the horizon, unless the yuppie management types eventually see past their "grasshopper" strategies to understand the long-term impacts.
