This just makes me sick. "By 2015, a total of 3.3 million U.S. jobs and $136
billion in wages will transfer offshore to countries such as India, Russia,
China and the Philippines, according to Forrester." We're in a major recession!
Unemployment is at an all time high! What the hell are these US companies doing?
Outsourcing to other countries! Are they out of their friggen minds? Do they
realize what this will do to our already dismal economy? "as much as 40 percent
to 50 percent of U.S. IT services work could be done overseas in the next five
to 10 years" What's sad is that our government probably won't do anything like
set tariffs because these same companies have our congressmen in their pockets.
This is bad, very, very bad.
