Hillary Clinton: So you are talking about the outsourcing of US jobs to India. We know it's been going on for many years now and it's part of our economic relationship with India and I think there are advantages with it that have certainly benefitted many parts of our country and there are disadvantages that go to the need to improve the job fields of our own people and create a better economic environment so it's like anything like the pluses and minuses.

The "advantages" go to the CEOs and shareholders, NOT the working stiffs.

Exactly, what are engineers and IT people supposed to train for after their jobs are sent to India and other countries?
