Really, the only people we have to blame for this who mess is the Unions, they demand ridiculously high wages, so Companies just move to a country that doesn't have Unions demanding ridiculously high wages. And then Unions complain, and Companies fire them.
 
[citation][nom]nforce4max[/nom]One reason more why America wont be around any more plus the government has a $62trillion arm (adjustable rate mortgage) debt which will be defaulted some time next year. The there is the $697.2 billion that was stolen by the sale of gold plated tungsten 400oz bars that were used to rip off China, India, and countless others (serves them right) which means the government is broke totally. Right now total unemployment in the US is 22.3% and fast heading towards 30%+. Next year will be the year when the pyramid scheme implodes.[/citation]

And we can thank 2 people for the direction our nation is heading: Obama and Bush.

Bush = Neocon
Obama = Liberal

Both are bad...

If you want to see something scary though:

[citation][nom]Victomofreality[/nom]If I could hire this guy I would! Most creative quiting I've ever seen[/citation]

I would never do this myself (You might depend on this company for future jobs!) but it is funny.

If the company isn't gobbled up or isn't already a to big to fail. In the next two to three years most medium businesses will be under great pressure if they are not already though sky high costs, low sales, and sky rocketing taxes. Then you got to factor in the coming currency crisis next year when the USD is nothing more that toilet paper. Those outside North America will feel the domino effect such as shortages and revalued/devalued currencies. Those who can produce useful goods & services will be better of than those who are unable while those who are in gold and silver related assets will be able to have purchasing power unlike those in paper only. The banks are insolvent and so are the loan shark credit card companies so don't bother to pay them off since they have already and will continue to be bailed out with tax payer money. Plus they are the primary conduit of inflation world wide.
 
[citation][nom]ddmattison[/nom]Tax breaks need to be given to companies that create jobs here. What US CEO's don't realize is that you only make money hiring cheap labor when you can sell you product at a high price to consumers. The goal is to buy low and sell high. You can only do that as long as people somewhere are making good money. American companies seem to think there is an endless supply of well heeled consumers here in the US ready to pay US prices for products based on cheap labor. You layoff enough people and eventually you have to lower prices. It's like what's happening in the housing market now. How many Indian works can pay $40,000 for a US made car? Companies(like Microsoft) offer Windows to 3rd world countries for $30 because they know they can't afford to pay US prices ($150), soon they'll be forced to do that here. Eventually you end up paying low and selling low, and you've gained nothing, except now all your expertise and labor is 20 hours away speaking a language you don't understand. They're just too short minded and stupid to realize it. Globalization is a race to the bottom.[/citation]

Not to mention you're creating jobs and income in a foreign country (which is not always bad). The problem comes in when many times we're feeding American money into nations that aren't exactly on good terms with us (China), and who could/will potentially become a military and financial threat to the stability of our own country.

I'm not trying to pick on China, but using it as an example. It's a socialist nation that has not been friendly to the United States over the years, and frankly doesn't treat it's population very well.

I agree when they decide to go hostile and say "Foreigners cannot own anything here" Well its all so nice that you built the factory and trained our workers we would like to thank you and wish you well on your endeavors to compete with us since you fired all your people and closed your factories...

But since no one here in the states works for them except the owners and some upper level management... it will be almost comedic to the average person on the street. The stock will tumble they will ask for a bail out and promise to open factories and call centers... At that point once again the tax payer the people with no jobs the people who where fired for cheap labor's sake will be the ones asked to foot the bill. I wonder how the politicians will vote with our dollars.

I pray this does not happen they say money likes stability and the Chinese would not rock the boat... But at what point will they tire of paying a percentage to some one who basically just collects a check?

Of course India and China are interchangeable in all this for IT its India for factory work its China. All of its bad news if your not Indian or Chinese lol
 
yeah yeah complaint how the Indians took over your jobs. But most who outsource(s) the work really love getting cheap quote.
"Wow, I really got myself a deal, $ 0.9 @ vector tracing. And I order 500... While on local, I got charge at least $10 per work"
 
LOL@ tech site musings about economics. The one about the US "having no agriculture left" was especially funny. And gold plated tungsten! Really, the imagination some of you have is wonderful. They say the US has no more natural resources left, but you all are looking right at it right now. If you can't figure out how we are going to monetize imagination, well, that's your problem.
 
[citation][nom]city_zen[/nom]... And now you post Tech news while sitting pantless on your couch (Yeah, like we forgot you said that)[/citation]
[citation][nom]JMcEntegart[/nom]These truly are my glory days.[/citation]
They still are my glory days.
Nothing like coming right out of the shower and posting on Toms, only to realize I forgot to close my window and put on pants. =D

Awesome move he pulled.
 
There is nothing inherently wrong with outsourcing and looking for the best price. There are certain things you can't outsource, and when people try to outsource those things, they go out of business.

You can't ask people to pay more in a capitalist system. It is going against everything the free market tells you. You can encourage it by product quality and differentiation, but to ask someone to pay more and get less is absurd.

I know most people here are tech guys and not economists, but bilateral trade isn't a 'he wins, I loose' proposition. In fact, in trade, everyone wins.

I think that companies should be forced to pay minimum wage to all employees, and tax them as well... At the same time, would you guys be willing to work for what the Indian tech support guys are willing to work for? Because, unless you understand that local tech support is better most of the time, what they get paid is what those guys are worth.

That would be when the Treasury declares bankruptcy and we start a national bank. I guarantee, nobody, and I mean NOBODY wants that to happen.
 
You folks do realize that Microsoft wanted to remove the H1B visa cap set by our government back in 2005: http://news.cnet.com/Gates-wants-to-scrap-H-1B-visa-restrictions/2100-1022_3-5687039.html

Apparently 65,000 H1B's is too low a cap for Microsoft!!? I'm surprised you Windows fanboys are admitting that out sourced (India) contractors are producing "uninspired" and "medicore" products. Cause you do realize Vista and Windows7 are products of that out sourcing. At least I hope you do.

Ironically, Apple have remained faithful to hiring American workers for their "design", "IT" and "software development" -- which is MORE costly, but yet you Windows fanboys moan about how expensive Apple products are?? Talk about hypocritical. Yes I know the iPhone (and most of Apple's hardware) is assembled in China, but at least Apple has retaining Americans for designing, coding, testing, and supporting their products.
