One of the things that pissed me off about conservatives is the idea that jobs get outsourced to India simply because they are better workers than Americans. Rush Limbaugh always championed this idea. Having handled finances for Fortune 500 IT companies, I could see how much Indian resources were being paid vs. American ones, and the overhead expenses involved with that outsourcing. I hated seeing it, and I hated conservatives like Rush spewing that bullcrap. It would take about four Argentinan project managers to do the job of one American project manager, but that did not stop IBM from replacing those Americans with Argentinians because they were saving money. I had to clean out the cubicles of PMs who'd been downsized, as well as handling the onboarding of South Americans replacing them. Then eventually I was downsized too. For awhile, I was tempted to vote for Obama because he was speaking out against Bush's tax credits to corporations that outsourced jobs. I figured it would take a Democrat to put an end to that. I was naive, not then realizing that Democrats just gave lip service to being the opposition.
