In praise of outsourcing

This bit is UK focused, but I'm sure advocates of surrendering our economy here would agree with it's major thrust. And I have to wonder about this statement:

The report indicates that real consumer expenditure could be boosted to £4.4bn by 2008, equating to an extra £177 per household, per year, in the UK.

So, after the big corporations have shipped all the good paying jobs to Third World pest holes, or contracted for some slave labor, the folks holding the McJobs that are left are going to spend more money?

What've these guys been smoking?

What's good for the economy is good for you. Oh yes

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
