This is an interesting view... and what makes it even more interesting is the book "Confessions of an International Hit Man" that I just started reading. This is an autobigraphical NON-FICTIONAL account of an american hired secretly by the government to control other nations by giving them huge "loans" to develop themselves (and pay American firms for that) and when they default on those impossible loans, the US would get various concessions from the nation. Of course, the nation would continue to repay as much as it could. So, the US is literally stealing their money as the loans mostly end up remaining in the US itself. Now, believe it or not, this IS true. So, the actual "innovation" that the US did was in developing it's technique of stealing other countries' wealth. So quit complaining about another country taking away your money and jobs. This is the real world. Deal with it. It is a global economy. Noone is taking away your jobs. The jobs just go where the competition is best. The US still has the best higher education system and thats why a large percentage of R&D takes place here. Let the US continue to innovate instead. There are plenty of jobs that americans can still do. P.S. I have no interest in the debate on racism. I find jokes on Indian call centers just as funny as most other ppl... and I also agree that many of my friends and classmates respect the Indians that are their colleagues despite the fact that many of them have funny accents.
