Sure, there are a lot of "buts" (jobs, income distribution, what fueled the growth, etc.), but, to quote economist James Carville's favorite expression "if 'ifs and buts' were beers and nuts, we'd have a heck of a party."

Lizzy: Re jobs...I think you said you had 100 'offshore' employees... If you want to add jobs to the US payroll, why don't you hire employees from the US?

May I make a 'guess'?

US employees are more expensive, and your profits will be much smaller if you do....Correct?

If it is correct, companies like yours are the reason for the higher unemployment figures....

If this isn't correct, I'll be most interested in your response.
