Surrounded by increasing violence and instability, U.S. contractors left behind in Afghanistan are raising alarm about the potential for another Benghazi tragedy, saying the State Department isn't sharing with them a plan to evacuate if insurgents launch a debilitating attack. The concerns are heightened by the fact that many of those civilians doing the security and nation-building work of the U.S. government hold sensitive security clearances, making them an attractive target for the e ...

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 ...

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. ...

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 ...

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:/ ...

That's what has been spent so far on getting Obamacare up and running, including the website, fixes to the website (which still isn't fixed), IRS crosschecking, etc. That's alot of money - $2,100,000,000.00. With 8,000,000 signed up, what does that come out to per person? Somebody do the math.....I can't find a calculator big enough - but if I drop the 6 zeros and do 2100 divided by 8 - that comes to 262 - add the 6 zeroes back in - $262,000,000 - is that right ...

BAGHDAD – The U.S. Defense Department is unable to properly account for over 95 percent of $9.1 billion in Iraqi oil money tapped by the U.S. for rebuilding the war ravaged nation, according to an audit released Tuesday. The report by the U.S. Special Investigator for Iraq Reconstruction offers a compelling look at continued laxness in how such funds were being spent in a country where people complain basic services like electricity and clean water are sharply lacking seven years af ...

Seriously, what will it take for our lawmakers to READ the bill before they vote yes or no? I don't about you, but I'm pretty sick and tired of these "glitches" and "surprises" they keep finding.

Is this part of the TARP money or does she think it's going to magically appear? ISLAMABAD – U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton sought Monday to convince skeptical Pakistanis that American interest in their country extends beyond the fight against Islamist militants by announcing a raft of new aid projects worth $500 million. The projects, which include hospitals and new dams for badly needed electricity, are part of a $7.5 billion aid effort to win over Pakistan ...

The Obama administration on Tuesday backed a proposal to spend up to $6 billion more on subsidies for electric vehicles, amid renewed interest on Capitol Hill in measures to cut petroleum consumption in response to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Okay...so more money being spent by the govt. We do not have the money to spend on this. Some cons to the electric car: Current batteries have relatively short trip capacity.Recharge time can be hours, so you don't just stop at the station f ...

It starts with the figures released in 2009, when the deficit reached a record high of $1.4 trillion. Why is the column in red? Because, thanks to fiscal years, Obama inherited a deficit of nearly $1.3 trillion from Bush/Cheney the moment he took the oath of office. This year, however, according to the official data published by the Treasury Department, the deficit is 1.089 trillion. A big number, but going down--no thanks to those helpful Republicans in Congress. ...

Mortgage-finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac could need nearly $100 billion in bailout money in the event of a new economic crisis, according to stress test results released Monday by their regulator. The companies would need to draw between $34.8 billion and $99.6 billion in U.S. Treasury aid under a “severely adverse” scenario, depending on how they treated assets used to offset taxes, the Federal Housing Finance Agency said in its report. The losses would leave $158.4 billion to ...
