And here I thought that out-sourcing nonsense was an Oz exclusive. Call me ridiculous, but I really think that the whole outsourcing/globalising greedy-business mindset just may have something to do with the state of the economy. I'm not saying it's a huge part, but I can't see sending jobs no one wants to do overseas, then paying people to be on the dole to be beneficial for any country's economy, somehow.

But that's just me: I see things through very narrow-scope glasses. :blink:
