America Inc. Outsourced to India

[boutons_deux]

a cardiologist I visted recently at SA Medical center was Indian. (he said I had heart of Pure Gold)

A friend in CA hasn't been cared for by an EA in years in the Kaiser healthcare.

Our pediatrician's entire office is Indian.

Theyre great until they speak. Its all pops and buzzes to me...just cant get through the accent. Entirely too thick and too influenced by the blimey English to make any sense to this American.

No wonder you hate capitalist repugs... You think they want to steal and sell your heart!

That accent gives me trouble too. I work with a woman from India and she's probably getting tired of me asking her to repeat what she just said.

Basically.

The ways to turn this around is:
A) Use protectionist measures as WC was cheerleading above (although that would be very anti-capitalism)
B) Use the capitalism solution... which is to ride it out. As demand increases and supply is scarce, costs increases, eventually hitting the point where it's no longer convenient to run the operations overseas.

B is what I see happening with India, up to an extent, at this point.
On the other hand, China has a good strategy to starve off both A and B. They avoid B by dumping a good chunk of the money they make through exports overseas on long term loans (i.e.: US treasury bonds) instead of investing all that cash in the country. They can also use the loan rates as leverage to ensure A won't happen to them. Seeing the US is entirely reliant on that loan money to operate you know A won't be happening. At least against them.

China is actually investing a massive amount of funds in-country, and appears to be doing so very very inefficiently.
