I don't understand this whole outsourcing thing. Everyone to the left of center is attacking the Bush administration because jobs have been shipped overseas. I seriously doubt that Bush had anything to do with this. In fact I'm willing to bet the culprits are the business owners that shipped those jobs away. And really they aren't at fault either. If people would buy more expensive goods because they were made and serviced in America, and ignore those products that create jobs in other countries, then these jobs would stay in America. But you can't have it both ways. If you are only going to buy the cheapest items available, then you have to expect that other countries are going to be selling those goods cheaper than the U.S. We have this thing called minimum wage, which means that you can pay people in India to answer your customer service calls for $1.00/hr, and in the U.S. you would have to pay $5+. That's a big difference. Outsourcing problems are caused by a consumer economy that demands the lowest price possible and has nothing to do with Bush's economic policies. Anyone that thinks so has yet to open their eyes and examine the situation deeper than whatever democratic talking points they saw on CNN the night before. Oh yeah, and minimum wage.... A democratic invention.
