Not really. She takes forEVER to make change. I amuse myself by looking through the footnotes. Do you think they're real?

Ty, quick, go read Krugman so you can tell us all that this is really bad news.

From Andrew Sullivan's Site:

Mass transit is precisely that -- mass. America is not the land of the mass; it is the land of the individual, the entrepeneur, the explorer. It is the land that does not want to wait for the governmentally-scheduled transport. It is where Henry Ford invented the assembly line to produce cars and transformed the global economy. It is the land where the car allowed for the creation of the suburb, the ranch house, the white picket fence. It is the land of manifest destiny; we drove to California, where we had Fun, Fun, Fun once her daddy took the T-Bird away. [Indeed, Rumsfeld might agree that the East Coast is Old America and the West Coast is New America, less tethered to our Euro-roots.] Before the Interstate, it was the land that got its kicks on Route 66, all the way from Chicago to L.A. It is a culture in which generations of teenagers have received their driver's licenses as rites of passage -- to adventure and romance, away from the watchful eyes of the parental units.
Still don't get it? Rent Cameron Crowe's "Singles." Or "American Graffiti." Or "Animal House" ("ROAD TRIP!"). Or "Swingers" (We're going to VEGAS, BABY!"). Or even, from the opposite perspective, "The Magnificent Ambersons."
There's a reason why it's funny when Rush Limbaugh says that the engine of freedom runs on oil; it's true! If cars had existed in the 1770s, it would have been gasoline we threw in Boston Harbor.

Come on, what a bit of simplistic crap.

They need to read of their own little statements dispelling the "myth" that outsourcing goes one way: "Outsourcing is a Two Way Street". If they apply this to some of their other rosy, it's all great because it's capitalism, yoo-hah!, answers, maybe they rise to a level that would pass scrunity in an Econ 101 class.

Outsourcing is complex, and points out some real problems in our labor market. We are out of sync in a number of critical areas, and there is still hangover from the boom that, for example, inflates expectations on tech jobs beyond what the market can bear. And a big part of the problem is also the US cost of living, stemming from inflated real estate values and the like.

My biggest worry on outsourcing is that we are moving into a world where most bread and butter software code will be written abroad; it is inevitable that a certain amount of innovation will follow, as the Indian software code writers move up the ladder and begin generating broader design concepts. It may be that this international integration of the software industry has a lot of good to it (and it's pretty clear that India has a significantly more entrepreneurial and innovative culture than, for example, the French and Germans), but there is going to be a hell of a lot of pain in making that transition.

That quote rambled sufficiently enough for me to think that Andrew was blogging while drunk again until I saw that you're quoting an email from someone that disagreed with him.

Now that I've discovered what Sullivan thinks, I've got to try to figure out why you posted this.

It's good news, and unexpectedly so. But unemployment held level (or so I heard on the radio this a.m.).

Here's an interesting piece by DeLong on outsourcing. There is a lot in here that club will agree with, but the end has some thoughts that skek will find to his liking.
