American workers just can't compete with some one in India who will do their job for $5,000 a year tops and work 14 hours a day six to seven days a week. That's the bottom line. I have said this for years on this forum alone. Until that is addressed, or US companies are heavily penalized for doing it, offshoring of American jobs will continue, our economy will continue to decline, and high unemployment here will continue to rise.. I have always considered this to be a direct threat to our national economic well-being.:-D
