When people debate you don't always here what you want to. And besides that, you may not have to much on this board, but in the real world you are going to have to be able to take people saying things around you and to you that you don't like.

Correlation doesn't imply causation.


True, although if outsourcing was creating an environment that depressed the economy, then we wouldn't see this decent growth.

You can't just point to the all-encompassing GDP and say "See, decent growth!" It doesn't tell us a thing about the effect outsourcing has on the economy. For all we know, the GDP might have been double that if it weren't for the practice of outsourcing work to other countries.
