Thanks.

I think it is a question of:

(1) Speed for outsourcing.

(2) What groups are impacted most.

With autos - there has been a slow erosion of market share - from around 90% for the US, to maybe 50% - but over 50 years.

With IT - if we see outsourcing go from 5% to 25% - a 20% increase - in 3 years - I think that will be too fast to easily adapt to. Tax credits, or much improved unemployment - maybe 2X to 3X what the max is today - would help.

I'm guessing if the teachers are affected - lets say a massive plan to import maybe 100,000 better educated Indian teachers - at a salary of 10,000 for 12 months - not 9 - with no health benefits - I bet we would hear bloody murder being yelled from the teacher's unions. Maybe that is what it will take to get people to realize how bad it could be.
