Seems I hit a bit of a raw nerve again. I don't want to start a flame but if there wasn't something in it for US, then you wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

I am a great believer in 'the market'. It decides everything and should be left without hindrance or state intervention. Unfortunately the US props up too many inefficient industries with tariffs and subsidies that means that goods are not sold on the world market at their market value. The taxpayers end up paying twice - the subsidy and the inflated price - so as always it is the man on the street who suffers.

It is my impression that Americans relocate to a new state at a moments notice to find work. Yet they would never consider moving to India. Why not? The wages might be next to nothing but so is the cost of living. You'd never have to do housework again - a real incentive if you ever needed one!

And don't give me that 'war' shit. I have never had that opinion labeled on me before and I don't intend to start now. To turn it back, if it wasn't for Europe, America would still be populated by red indians. But you guys never seem to remember that when you were supporting c*nts like the IRA several years back.

At the end of the day it is Americans (the bosses and Wall Street) who decide to outsource work to India. If it wasn't worth it financially then you wouldn't have to worry about it because it wouldn't happen.

Good website to share your frustrations is www.yourjobisgoingtoindia.com take them over there and leave me out of it.

Oh Monday mornings - don't you just love them!
