You can't expect the jobs in a bubble economy to equal the jobs in a non-bubble economy.

They will before November. Willing to wager?

Now here you have a point regarding the prediction. It was unreasonable. Outsourcing is a good thing long-term, but not short term, but I don't think anybody has the energy to rehash that debate, but I will say that if we ban outsourcing we will also have to be prepared for the reprecussions with respect to jobs that are outsourced TO the US and the loss of purchasing power of those in other countries to purchase OUR products.
