Kev374, your credibility is taking a big hit. I don’t like Bush, but he didn’t cause the housing problem. If you are counting on any government to fix problems like these you are in for a world of frustration.
I’m going to paint a big target on myself now, and maybe lose credibility with many here. I used to think the H1B visa were bad, but have come to a different viewpoint. I saw an interview with Bill Gates, and although I have no love for Microsoft, I think he is correct in that if we do not allow outside talent into this country we will lose our competitive edge. He has so much money now that I don’t think he is saying this for the benefit of Microsoft.
Big corps will win this battle regardless. If they can’t hire here, they open facilities outside the US which helps no one here. You can’t crate an artificially high resource, whether it be housing or salary.
Ok, let the beatings begin!
===========================
Bush has supported cuts in Educational funding, increase of the H1b cap to satisfy his corporate cronies and provide them with an endless supply of cheap 3rd world labor, mindlessly emptied our coffers on this idiotic war and printed money to create this whole bubble fiasco! Shame on the Bush administration!!!!! They have FAILED all of us.
