Did the GOP debate address offshoring of jobs?

Nope. Not on their radar screen. - nm

I didn't get to see the whole debate - sm

but I don't believe that was ever addressed. I wish someone would talk about this though. Not only are we losing our jobs, but I still say having our medical records typed in other countries is a national security risk. I just don't get why no one in politics is standing up and saying something.

It's a very simple equation - my friend...

It is because it is the very same large corporations who donate the huge sums of money to candidates to get them elected. In other words, the candidates aren't going to bite the hand that feeds them. Though government officers can't legally use campaign money for personal use, there are many, many perks for them once they are elected that far outpace anything they could illegally use, the least of which is being set for life in retirement. Where else can one work for a mere 2-4 years, at the very least, and receive a retirement pension and medical care for the rest of their lives? That aspect alone needs to be taken out of the equation.

As an example, read the extensive article in Rolling Stone about the wives of financiers receiving government money and not paying it back, as to how much greasing goes on between government and high finance. The trade-off is junk stocks that they government (meaning we taxpayers) hold as "collateral" if this money isn't paid back. Yeesh, we all need to be investing in Vaseline stock. The corruption in this country's government is astounding.

I totally agree - sm

We need to get all the corrupt Dems and Repubs out.

Yeah, but then others would just step up and - do the same thing SM

I believe there was a time when Campaign Finance reform was on the table, but of course that went nowhere. Now, the SC has determined that a corporation is a "person" so they can now legally corrupt the oh so willing politicians. Everywhere I turn, I hear about more and more corruption, fraud, and greed, i.e., the No Child Left Behind posts as an example. It seems as if everyone has an agenda. They take an oath to represent their constituents with their fingers crossed behind their backs. It is shameful and disgusting. If I could, I would love to get off the grid and not care about any of it anymore.

That's why Herman Cain is good for President, he isn't interested in lobbyists and unions, and the EPA, he is running pretty much on "the right thing to do".

This article explains how it is not just offshoring that is detrimental to our jobs. Outsourcing jobs within the US is becoming increasingly common and leads to lower wages and fewer people with benefits. Sounds like MTSOs accepting work from big MT companies and then hiring ICs to do the work at low wages with no benefits. ...

Romney from 3rd debate transcript on China: "they (China) have to manufacture goods and put people to work and they have about 20,000 -- 20 million, rather, people coming out of the farms every year coming into the cities, needing jobs. So they (China) want the economy to work and the world to be free and open. And so we can be a partner with China. We don't have to be an adversary in any way, shape or form. We can work with them, we can collaborate with them, if they're willing to b ...

There is no greater contempt for Americans than to offshore our jobs to China and India, and then award these companies who do it with big government contracts paid by the American taxpayers. What happened to the NAFTA renegotiations? What happened to the 35% penalties promised? Over 60 executive orders signed during the first 100 days and Trump has the power to do this, but does not. What gives? He campaigned on this promise. Is this another campaign pro ...

If this gets pushed in my face, I will definitely state that it's NOBODY'S business and simply refuse to answer. Or, maybe ask my own doctor to keep private records of her own, with my real information in it. If doctors are already fed up with this crap, and stating that your information will not be confidential, that's pretty much telling me what I need to know. Anything that's done overseas is guaranteed not safe, so I'll have to protect myself and my info ...

The first person to ask a question was Kerry Ladka. "Was Ladka satisfied with how the president responded? Simply no. “I really didn’t think he totally answered the question satisfactorily as far as I was concerned,” Ladka tells the Erik Wemple Blog. After the debate . . . "President Obama, though, wasn’t done with Kerry Ladka.

I was struck last night by the huge difference in what we can infer about the nature of Bernie's and Hillary's thought processes while they were processing the challenging questions that Anderson Cooper threw out at them individually.

Okay, so here it is. I have a very good friend who is expecting. She is low income and has MA, WIC, food stamps, etc. She is slowly buying clothes, furniture, etc. a little at a time before baby arrives around May. She knows about Goodwill, rummage sales, resale shops, and all that too. She has other friends as well (who have had children) telling her which diapers are the best. She wants to start buying diapers now so she has a few packs/boxes to start with when the baby arrives. Sh ...

Tax the rich more....tax the poor less, etc. It is my opinion that if you tax the rich more, it won't help that much considering there are so many loopholes in the tax code that I'm sure the rich will find a way to get out of paying more taxes. Why don't we just do a flat tax. That will eliminate the loopholes. Simple and easy...probably why they won't do it though. They need something confusing so the crooks in the world can get out of paying ta ...
