From the Paper:

"Economically, when the state and federal governments are outsourcing IT jobs to India, and other third world nations, the predicted result is that those nations will see an increase in education and training for IT and IT related jobs. That the outsourced jobs will serve to jumpstart industries, employment and growth in a third world country. That this growth, especially in a field that will continue to experience growth such information technology, will serve as an economic stabilizer for the country where those jobs are outsourced to. That this economic stabilizer will serve America well in economically linking that nation to America, creating a political cohesion that will replace economically what has long been established militarily as an ally between nations. This will bring the third world nation into the work market and global community with strong ties to the United States, and it would, from a political perspective, follow that those nations would be supportive of US initiatives on the world front in matters of economic and strategic importance to the United States".
