Bush urges free trade, tech changes

I've come up with a catchy name for the Bush Adminstration's program on offshoring and outsourcing: Send American Work Oversea For Forever (SAW-OFF), because that'll be it's net effect.

"Six years ago, the largest export of this state was tobacco," Bush said in a speech in Charlotte, N.C. "And now, it's computer equipment. That's an amazing transformation of an economy."

I predict that, if Mr. Bush is re-elected, in six years North Carolina's major export will be ditch-diggers and waitresses...

President Bush warns against erecting barriers to trade with other nations.

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.
