No way the Bush economic plan does that. Gotta love the middle class republicans who will vote for Bush so your kids can pay off debts from our lifetime.

Its true though. I heard a professor refer to our economy as being an "idea based" economy right now. Basically, we come up with the technology, we send it to other countries so they can mas produce it cheaply, and then we buy it back from them.

On that note, I am heading out to Best Buy for lunch. I think I am going to pick up the new USB PDA flat panel dual processor dolby digial 5.1 camera phone video game system. I heard its hot ! :P

I am getting a little pissed at some companies using other companies for customer service. Lately I call my credit card companies and all I get is people speaking broken english that can't really help me out. Everything for cheaper labor, soon enough we will be screwed.

Not to say that people from other countries come in and steal our jobs but... People from other countries come in and steal our jobs. The bottom line is they really can't do the job better or even as well. They can't even speak english. I had a brief stint working for a Consulting company where I heard and saw first hand how tons of computer programming and IT jobs in Connecticut at least were given to Indians who don't speak our language.

Dude, that is one of the biggest things that **** me off in the world. I always thought they did that on purpose so you don't know what they are saying and just agree with them, even though they are signing your *** up for a $79.95 annual fee for some bullshit protection plan. I hate those bitches. Alot of them speak english, but they have such a bad slang you can't make out words. I know they hire those ******* on purpose. It's like a company policy that you can't speak english in order to work there.
