I've seen several articles speaking of how offshoring helps the economy in both the long and short run.

A closed and protected economy is the best way to fuck it up. |
Come on man, the Information Technology Association of America, who commissioned this study, is a trade group for the IT industry. It represents IT companies. Its job is to increase profits for those companies. It has its own PAC. 30 percent of its workforce are lobbyists AND it employs two other lobbying firms. It's whole reason for being is to advance the interests of the IT industry.
You are NOT going to get an unbiased report from these guys on ANY issue that can effect their clients.
Yet you go and quote the study commissioned by ITAA that amazingly enough says that exporting jobs is good for the economy (failing to mention that it's actually good for the IT companies since they now will make more money now that their tech support team consists of a bunch of guys in India making a dollar or two a day).
Find an unbiased source that says getting rid of jobs is good for the economy and I'll listen - but that's immaterial because no intelligent unbiased source would ever say something so preposterous.
