I agree completely Marilyn. That's why I hate it so much! I almost wish it were illegal, but then you get into first amendment rights which is really touchy. I just wish people were not too greedy and then there would be no need for a law...

It's really hard to know who's to blame. It's kinda the chicken or the egg thing. We demanded lower prices so big business looked for a way to lower their cost to give us what we wanted. They discovered outsourcing, but..... they soon discovered that the cost of oursourcing was so low, they could actually lower prices and make more profit. We were greedy, they were greedy. The idea got really popular and we were all happy for a while until things got carried away. Did big business drive this, or did we the consumer's drive this.

Our government should have realized what was happening though and taken steps to do what was right for the wellbeing of the public, but then they are human too, and greed caused them to listen to the lobbiests funded by big business who were giving them perks to look the other way.

Everything is cyclic. Chaos eventually moves toward equalibrium, so things will balance out, but China and India will be come richer while we get poorer. We've lived so much better than most of the world for so long, the balance is starting to shift. Hopefully is will be slow enough that we can adjust rather than a sudden economic crash.
