I understand your position sem, but it does directly relate to me. It most certainly is an issue and not a witch hunt. Given the number of articles referenced in this and other similar threads, it's hard to see how one could not recogonize it as a real issue. It's getting too much press for too many different sources not to be real.
As an IT professional, I am directly affected by the offshoring of IT jobs. Thankfully, I'm keeping quite busy these days, but that has not always been the case. As a citizen, I am directly involved because, with respect to government contracts, be they local, state, or national, it's public tax payer money being used to fund these projects, and I therefore do have a say in how that money should be spent. I also fear that, as is often the case, that politicians and CEOs are more focused on short term gains at the cost of long term economic stability. It's more than just the jobs, it's the long term economic repercussions that such policies will have on local communities.
Two posts ago, you wonder why the other side has not been introduced. From your perspective, maybe you can shed some light on on the other side. How are these trends and policies good for the US?
Good Luck
