I don't know about you, but I attribute the economic plunge to 9/11.

Yes, your right. The number one reason the economy took a plunge is because of 9/11. The practice of shipping IT jobs to India started in the late 90s by necessity because of the Y2k scare. Contracting companies were bringing thousands of Indians over here to fix source code for Y2k bugs. Big companies developed relationships with these "offshore" contacting companies. After Y2k, companies started shipping jobs overseas. In recent years it has really exploded. Its only going to get worse if the government doesn't step in. I don't think Bush is going to do anything about it. I'm not even sure if Kerry is going to stop it. But you are always going to have a better chance of a Democrat fixing a problem like that. Its a fix for the little people like us.
