While there has been a lot of hue and cry over the IT outsourcing the politicians have conveniently forgotten manufacturing outsourcing which has plagued America for decades. Long before CA was hit by.com burst NC was hit by import of cheap textiles from south-east Asia and Mexico. Thousands of workers were laid off (e.g., pillowtex,lee). The biggest gainers are people like wal-mart/circuit city/best buy who offer dirt cheap stuff because the stuff is 'made in china/Taiwan/thailand'. Tell me how many computer companies manufacture their stuff in usa? Even the darling-of-slashdotters apple makes stuff in china.
IT is a service sector. It requires a strong brick-n-mortar sector for survival. We need to strengthen our manufacturing base first. This would put more money in the pockets of people. They would in turn, demand better service. Cost of source then wouldn't be the paramount factor. American IT folks can gain the edge by providing better service.
a third world country with 650million registered voters has conducted general elections coupla months ago using electronic voting machines.
