Dave:

This morning, the White House came out in favor of offshoring. This just 
in from the Washington Post:

"Wading into an election-year debate, President Bush's top economist 
yesterday said the outsourcing of U.S. service jobs to workers overseas 
is good for the nation's economy.

"Shipping jobs to low-cost countries is the 'latest manifestation of the 
gains from trade that economists have talked about' for centuries, said 
N. Gregory Mankiw, chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers."
