Dude it is a problem NOW Mjordan. It is a growing issue but it is a major issue NOW. You have no idea how many losers at my school who want to be programmers just like you. So if you look at it selfishly yeah its a bad thing. But I would prefer someone trying to maintain a job and as most people do after their 30 to look at is selfisly. Because people have a little thing called a family with kids. ANd you say yeah looking at it selfishly. In my mind I think your implying their is a good arguement to this case. As someone america would bennifect if you wouldnt be so selfish.
YOU are america. You buy the goods that keep our economy running. Your the man attending baseball games and watching tv. Alll that costs money that YOU make to give to other people that have jobs that do the exact same thing.
And sheerx says the main probably is our economy in general. ANd the biggest problem to our economy in general is outsourcing, and the loss of jobs and the larger ammount of people of welfare and the backlash of that the lowering ammount that an umemployment check would have.
THe president may be wasting his billions in iraq and wasting billions America doesnt even have. But if our economy was bustling as he makes it out to be that would be a problem but it wouldnt be a catastrophe hes making it to be. More people would have jobs, more people would be paying taxes, and less taxes would be going to welfare

Okay, you're obviously not getting the idea. Lets backtrack a little bit. This country is built on two things: democracy and capitalism, democracy (loosely speaking) being the idea behind our government, and capitalism being the idea behind out economy. Having a democracy normally means that everyone's voice is heard because everyone participates in our government. In our case it's a little different. Everyone's voice still can be heard. It is not a democracy in the strictest form, but if you're a citizen of the United States, your voice
can be heard, as evinced by our many great leaders. All you have to do is put a little effort into it. Now, having capitalism means having a free-flowing economy, with little to no government interference. Obviously the government has meddled in our economy some, but for the most part, we're a capitalist society. As I've observed, Americans hold capitalism in quite high esteem vis-a-vis socialism, or communism.
Now, what you're talking about is further interference with that capitalism. Even if your concerns are correct, and America's economy
is going down, such government intrustion into the economy could be calamitous. If the government is allowed such uncontrolled power, there's nothing to say it won't abuse that power, as even our government has many times throughout its history. That could quite possibly give the government the power to mold the economy as it sees fit, ergo making it socialist. Now, America was built on ideas. When you take away one of the two basic ideas that America was built on, it ceases to be America. It's just a shell of a country after that. Are you willing to give up
America because outsourcing is
such a big problem? No! We will stand by what we believe in, democracy and capitalism, and we will either flourish under them, or fall under them. We are a tenacious people. We will not succumb to
anything!
Plus, what you're saying isn't even true. Look at our economy. It's not in shambles. In fact, it's slowly increasing. Look at our people. They're not in shambles. We are amongst the most flourishing nation in the world, with no signs of that changing in the near future. Then, how can you say that soutsourcing is a huge problem? I agree it has put a
few people out of work, but this is America. If you look hard enough for a job, you will find it. I reiterate, there are no signs that outsourcing is a big problem in America other than the biased newspapers that you read, who's reporters are selfish, and would like to help no other country by the greatness of America. Some of that news is meant to entertain more than to bring you news.
And another thing, in the future, outsourcing will go down. That's usually a trend in the economy. Once enough Indians start getting enough programming jobs, they will demand a higher and higher salary for what they are doing, where eventually it won't be more beneficial to work overseas, but instead, come right back home. You show me some
hard evidence that the marketplace has declined due to outsourcing, and I'll consider it as a problem. Otherwise, outsourcing just is. It's not terrible, it's not great, it's just there.
