Outsourcing, Offshoring Debate

For those who like myself who thought the issue of Bain outsourcing was back in the past a few years back, here is a current story. This company in Freeport, Illinois, is shipping the factory to China and the employees have been spending their last few months training their Chinese replacements. I think that is so cruel. Interesting comments too - "Mitt Romney saying 'I have nothing to do with Bain's management' is like Pablo Escobar saying 'I don't grow coca bush ...

Apparently he and his cronies are not against ALL offshoring. This took place shortly after he took office: Is Obama the Offshore Outsourcing President? Yesterday Obama nominated the most notorious offshore outsourcing Senate advocate, Judd Gregg, for Commerce Secretary. Today global labor arbitrage and offshore outsourcing expert, expert, Dr. Ron Hira, spells out the hidden multinational corporate offshore outsourcing agenda in an op-ed, The Obama administration promotes ou ...

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 ...

For some reason, this article just tickled me pink today! http://news.msn.com/us/man-outsources-his-own-job-to-china-watches-cat-videos Bob's my new hero ...

I would like to see offshore work not happen and keep jobs in USA. I know this is a big request but it was heavy on my chest today and had to vent. Our government standards are going downhill, so sad. Well just had to vent. ...

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 ...

Well just heard an ad for Hillary and in it she says that outsourcing is not something you can legislate. Why the heck not. Make it illegal. I don't know why anyone wants to believe her at all. She would do as much if not more damage as Obama has done to our country. ...

You know the one: They take jobs Americans won't do or don't want. Of course, I knew this old wive's tale (mainly promoted by liberals, but swallowed by people who should have more sense) was untrue. Follow the link. And today, there are reports about 100,000 more H2 work permits that administration is printing up even as we speak, far beyond the statutory limits. Just one more example of the stunning ways in which this administration flouts the laws. Thi ...

The Commission on Wartime Contractingin Iraq and Afghanistan was created in 2008 under W with broad bipartisan support. Membership on the commission consisted of 4 democrats and 4 republicans, appointed by Pelosi, Boehner, Reid and W. http://www.trivalleycentral.com/articles/2011/08/31/front/doc4e5e645007cde227434173.txt ...

Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign is attempting to silence a pro-Trump super-PAC called "Rebuild America Now." The campaign is lobbying television stations to pull an anti-Clinton ad, claiming that the 30 second spot "directly contracted by evidence in the public record." The ad, called "Outsourcing", takes Clinton to task for a speech she delivered in New Deli in which she praised outsourcing American jobs, and for a $5 million donation she received from Indian politician Amar Sin ...

I can't figure out why Ted Cruz is the hot ticket, right now, over Scott Walker, considering they're so similar on their views - what does he have Scott Walker doesn't other than "hot-topic" ethnicity? One of the most overlooked issues on this board is outsourcing, but it's the one that affects us as MTs the most. So it may surprise some to learn where these 2 conservatives stood on this issue - at opposite ends. Scott Walker wants to stop outsourcing: http:/ ...

Offshoring: Myths and Facts by John MurphyHouse Ways and Means Chairman Sandy Levin (D-Mich.) and Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) will be speaking to the press today about "continued efforts by Democrats to prevent the outsourcing of jobs," The Hill reports. Also today, the AFL-CIO is releasing a database that purports to identify companies that have "shipped jobs overseas."As the November 2 elections loom, it's plain that some hope to turn concern about offshoring of jobs into votes. But ...

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 ...

Things are looking up. Maybe the Nuance California lay-offs will have a chance again. ...

Why would an MT support a party that supports outsourcing? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/09/28/gop-chamber-of-commerce_n_741970.html ...

illegal immigration on here and I would just like some information from all willing to participate. What is your problem with illegal immigration..if you have any... Are you opposed to them being here illegally or do you agree with total amnesty? Are you opposed to them working here or do you think them working here is beneficial? Are you opposed to them receiving food stamps, etc at the cost of tax payers or do you think they deserve some help? Do you live in an area where there are a lot ...

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. 'After the debate, the president came over to me and spent about two minutes with me privately,' says the 61-year-old Ladka, who works at Global ...

Man on the street interviews of people re. the last debate -- hilarious because they gave their opinions based on a debate that had not yet happened: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UrOmhH2PeI&feature=player_embedded ...

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. Hillary's demeanor reminded me of one of those canned Miss America Pageant contestant types whom you can tell is so focused on searching her memory bank for a previously stored 'good answer' that the importance of the issue itself was tota ...

Don't know who the nominee will be, but any one of these gentleman will certainly get my vote. I guess I have to re-register, but will gladly do so for the greater good of the USA! 🇺🇸 ...

What are your thoughts about the questions and how the candidates are answering them? Has anyone decided for sure who to vote for (if you're voting in the primaries or caucuses)? I'm still undecided, so if you have decided, I would appreciate some input as to why you chose that candidate. ...

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 ...

Looking for the good, the bad and the ugly. I have 2 elemetary aged children and am currently working PT but making next to nothing. Over the past year we have adjusted our standard of living radically based on my dropping pay/health as an MT and my DH's job furloughs and cutbacksl. I get medical insurance from his company, so I don't really need any benefits. If I lose my job, I could potentially home school the kids. Not sure if they would benefit greatl ...

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 ...
