My apologies: I need to logoff before reading all the replies.
1. The article isn't about Linux. 2. The article isn't about software. 3. The article is well written and, to use a word not used very often: candid: with candor. (better than pc or not pc). And correct. And necessary. I agreed with most of your assessment - until the end.
I think however a point was missed: the outsourcing was beginning at the same time that policies allowed 300,000 "professionals"/year into the country. This dual effect really mucked things up.
Your article sounded very Republican in the sense of supporting current government policy. I'm glad the H1-B's has lapsed. It's one thing to moderate, another to flood. Think farm program.
One other point was missed. The level of borrowing by the government is planned: By forcing the interests rates low, the anum interest payments are the same as they were before - but on twice the debt.
ps. I'm still looking for that first programming job.
