These are real figures people so, take a look at them and explain how we get to keep our jobs in this country, for the natives. I only have the figures for IT but I doubt it's a lot different in other areas.

An average 'data center' IT worker can be had for about $40,000/year if it's off-shore or $60,000/year if the worker is brought into the US - that's what the company pays to the Indian outsourcer. And that's it. For off-shored 'help' there's no expense of office, health care, pension, social security, whatever. The on-shore dudes are usually crammed 2 into a 8ft by 7ft cube and the Indian outsourcer buses them in and out of work and stores them at some dormitories overnight.

The average equivalent native IT worker costs $150,000-250,000/year, which includes, of course, health insurance, pension, 401k, social security, office space... whatever.

Is there any wonder why I am not allowed to hire a native for the open position I have now and I am forced to either accept an Indian or go without?

Question is: if we are to stay globalistic, we either all go on Welfare or we learn to live while making half or one third as much as we do now. Now, what are the advantages of globalism again?

Thank you for the sarcasm.

I don't need hope. I've always been able to provide for myself and my family and I am likely to survive a McCain disaster as I watched the Clintons and the Bushes come and go.

Yes, I do believe that Obama in the White House is preferable to McCain by orders of magnitude. He may be tilting left vs. McCain tilting toward the nuthouse but he's an open-minded, intelligent and well-meaning person. But, I was suggesting a somewhat different topic. As for Obama, you better pray that it's he who gets the job. Can you even contemplate 'president Palin'?

then, as you said, you better get used to doing it with 1/3 to 1/2 of what you're doing now. no sarcasm.

We've been doing this for a long time now, with inflation, and the devaluation of our fiat bucks.

This crappy loan scam has just brought it to the attention of the entire world.

I read a blurb on ino.com that smirk is going to host a conference of 'world leaders' to figger it all out - beam me up, time on this one.

The nature of my job makes it very unlikely for me to lose it for as long as my company remains a US-based corporation. It is also very unlikely that I will see a reduction in compensation. However, inflation can do wonderful things to people's incomes.
