Anybody believe this?
http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1104_2-5094777.html


Executives from Borland Software, BearingPoint and Infosys, and an official from the U.S. Department of Commerce expressed confidence that U.S. companies will eventually reinvest money saved from farming out IT tasks to foreign workers and expand operations at home. That, in turn, will lead to American job growth down the road, the panelists agreed.


LIARS!

That's what they say.

What WILL happen is that their CEOs and management will give themselves big yummy raises.

Indeed, what sort of "operations at home" are they expanding - personal janitors for the CEOs?

Keep the eyeballs peeled. This is one big farce and we must call them on it.

2. so let me get this straight...
They're going to take all the money they saved on payrolls by firing american workers, and use that money to...hire american workers?

It sounds as absurd as it really is when you say it that way...

3. Of course! Trickle down has also created tens of millions of jobs,
and brought prosperity to all people! Homelessness will end within 6 months because of this bold new program of outsourcing.

I can't wait!!

I've already ordered the gold to pave the street outside my apartment, though I might save it for the mansion I'm sure I'll get at the end of the year.

4. So Thousands of jobs will be out-sourced and maybe 10 people
will get jobs.

That's fucked up.
