From: Trevor Perry

Joe,

From what I know, by spending money in India, the US is making more than
they spend. This would mean that while some of the wealth shifts there,
more of it comes back.

This is absolutely untrue!  You've said this in various forms various ways,
and provided absolutely no facts to support your propositions.  Instead,
here are REAL hard facts: temporary workers in ANY host country send much of
their money home, thereby draining the host economy of money that would
otherwise circulate.  So by definition "guest workers" of any type hurt an
economy.

Second, please show me any correlation between money sent to any offshore
consultancy firm and money returned to the US economy.  In fact, quit with
the empty rhetoric and provide a single verifiable fact.


And, even if this is not 100% true, the part about "destroying the
standard
of living of Americans" can not be blamed on globalization. The argument
about the divide between rich and poor might be a more relevant debate -
and yes, this applies all over the world.

It's not simply rich and poor, Trevor.  I have no problem with ALL the
industrial nations (including India and China) putting some money aside for
building basic infrastructures in countries like Liberia.  I am talking
about industrialized nations which cannot support their own populace and yet
continue to grow.  If a country is industrialized and has a low standard of
living but refuses to control its population growth, then it isn't being a
good global neighbor and thus in my view loses all claim to any benefits of
globalization.

Joe
