Obama Stimulus Plan = Global Stimulus?

Most talk about the US stimulus plan has been focused on how it will help the American consumer, business and economy in general. Take this article from the International Herald Tribune.

Not much news has been focused on how these effects could benefit the global economy in general. Not just export driven manufacturing outside of the US. But also BPO (Business Process Outsourcing organizations).

If US consumers increase their spending (or do not spend less), BPO companies will continue to see huge growth just from the Moore's law, the continuing saturation of BPO to smaller and smaller companies as well as the stimulus effect on Western Global Economies.

This could help large and small call centers alike. As consumers spend more large US corporations will not have to shrink operations and small and mediums sized US business will have a smaller default rate. This could help small BPO providers such as this call center.
