As part of a talk I gave to NCSA last year http://www.austintek.com/outsourcing/ I phoned Congressman Price's office in DC to see what they were doing about the loss of computer related jobs in the area. They said "what do you mean?" I explained the problem whereupon they said that he'd voted money for infrastructure (roads and sewers).
