"Brain drain" or "Drain drain" ?

My friend Joe mailed in to comment on my previous post “Should Indian Doctors emigrate?” As usual he will have his own arguments which will never go in tune with mine.

His immediate cynical response was “What brains you are talking about??” He continued to mention “we have cheap labor and that’s it, nothing more. When thousands of people emigrate you bound to see one or two successes. That is comparable to the statistics of any other country’s emigrating population…….” Concluding it by “Don’t worry about this ‘Brain drain’, what’s happening is only ‘Drain drain’ :) :) :) “

I’m still worried. The drain you are talking about is getting drained at the cost of my tax money. ....... :) :)
