Direct questions to him at his blog. My point is not that outsourcing does not exist nor that it has a negligible effect on American lives. It does exist and its effects are real and significant, both in the US and around the world. My point is that advocating reactionary strategies and policies is doomed to failure, especially in the long run if not even in the short run. In attempting to shield the US, you are not propping it up. You are drowning it. For every moment the US delays, hoping for a political bail-out that allows it to reject change and maintain the statuo quo, the US stands idly by while the other 95% of the world scrambles to overtake them. A growing number of nations are already ahead of the US in education, and now they're extending their lead. The world is a tough place. Go read your Darwin. Cowboy up! Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. No one said anything about a job. RE: The Balance Sheet on Outsourcing |
