Should the U.S. Be Training Its Competitors?

Submitted by Their Competition, Feb 15, 2008 08:00

An interesting proposal, since we're giving away American students' education to foreign students, we might as well give away the jobs that would've gone to them also. Subsidize higher education with funds and foreign students to reject American students and then further disable American students who've graduated by flooding the market with foreign graduates because off-shoring their work just isn't enough, let's take their houses too. An how is this good for Americans? Please make an argument how this is good for business and we all gain in our 401K, well, except that huge executive salaries cleaning out the business profits. If the business hasn't been off-shored for tax breaks too.
