Daves, trying to reason with Lizzie is as hopeless as Kucinich's shot at the presidency. Note that she's still insisting that real wages have fallen since 2000, in spite of numerous proofs to the contrary. She's so obtuse she's almost a straight line, she's so dull she makes AmSpit look sharp. Lizzie is so myopic she can't see beyond the next cubicle and where she used to see a slacker kid happily surfing the Web while eating a catered lunch and counting his paper wealth from unvested options, she now sees a hard-working guy with brown skin and a funny accent and assumes all other cubicles are likewise occupied with hers next to be taken over. She's lost all sense of time and capacity for rational thought, and holds Bush responsible for the bursting of the bubble and evaporation of her option and "new economy" stock wealth. She thought the "new paradigm" was something real and the bubble could grow endlessly, and she still thinks so, but also that someone has stolen them from her. And she thinks the whole world is as miserable as she is because she now only listens to the loony, hysterical left. Sad, really.

The problem is that this is the number one issue facing professional families and there is no addressing the problem by the Bush administration. I don't think it sits well with people to have their job prospects eliminated or wage pressure forcing them to indian levels. Who cares that Indians don't actually make that much? The fact is that is what it COSTS to buy offshore, 3rd market labor and now US workers have to compete with that. Can we compete, no. So what is the incentive for any new college graduate to go into technology.... I can't think of one. Apply this situation to virtually every white collar desk job. Anyway Bush will go down on this issue I suspect. People are much worse off than just 3 years ago.
