    Nice to read your articles again Pat.
    These Indian visas have killed IT jobs in Connecticut, especially in the insurance industry. The typical 1 American IT job for 6 Indian IT jobs is almost dead on.

    What is lost in this debate is the experience of the American IT worker. Being an ex COBOL programmer it takes time to learn the computer code and time to identify where in the code to make changes. And time is money.

    So you get six Indian IT teckies for 1 American. This is productivity? You fix the payroll tax problems, unemployment and workers comp corruption, and of course get cost effective health care and the American worker is back on par with the industrialized world. It is amazing though that ALL of the above "problems" are created by either the federal of state government.

    I miss the way the Herald used to be when Mr. Thibodeau was running things.

    We used to be able to depend on the Herald to report the truth, now you might as well call it the Democratic Herald just like Waterbury has the Republican American.

    Too bad we can't get Mr. Thibodeau back here in New Britain, but who could blame him for wanting to get out of Dodge?
