The Atlanta Journal Constitution has an [link\|http://www.accessatlanta.com/ajc/epaper/editions/thursday/business_b327f26e8208626200f3.html\|article] reporting on the program expanding even amidst the current tech slump with it's record layoffs of native US tech workers. "When it crosses my mind to do something, I don't ask why, I ask why not. And usually there's no reason not to, so I just go ahead. It's given me the strangest collection of hats"

If they claim there is a shortage of ASP programmers I am gonna barf my linings out. Why don't any politicians jump on this opportunity to pump up nationalism? They jump on everything else. ________________ oop.ismad.com

Business that want cheap IT workers give PAC (Political Action Committee for non-US readers) money to the relevant House representatives and senators to make sure their needs are known. The laws with quotas are adjusted to meet these need. When is the last time you gave money to support your candidate to the US Congress and asked them what you want? And, taxes don't count! Have you ever written your congressmen about H1B workers? Calls to patriotism (or nationalism) is a tool they use to manipulate you, not the other way around.

And there is no competition in sight - divided: all the rest are impotent. Repos - those who define Life as the pursuit of personal wealth via any means possible. At worst and for certain ones: it is their only active pursuit. (Party affiliation merely has to do with the choice which caters to your existing affliction - but no 'principles' are involved, except as rationalization for the unconscionable.) It's looking more and more in Murica like, Waiting for Godot as the Repos continue the concentration of power in the very few - expand the miseries OTOH quite 'democratically'. A. Repo motto works: keep the sheep grazing safely at the mall, not near the legislature
