[quote="Sgt Stryker":6d0e3]I am more concerned about how everything is being transferred out of country so cheaper labor can be obtained.
I watched 60 minutes last night and did you know that the people you call (or who call you) about credit cards, that stuff they sell on TV, and even Dell customer support are not Americans, but Indians in India ed:
America is basically supplied and run by foreign countries, therefore we are economically vulnerable on all fronts.[/quote:6d0e3]
You have to realize that other countries are just as dependant on foreign trade as we are, many much more than us. This economic dependancy is a result of the globalized economy. The overall benefits to this, however, far outweigh the problem of economic dependancy.

that's a good point, if they cut off contact than it hurts them as much as us,
but there are idiot leaders out there who don't care about their people as long as they can piss us off (Taliban comes to mind)
