Who agrees that its good policy for a government to allow outsourcing of its citizens jobs?
January 30th, 2010 | by admin |so that goods those citizens used to make and get say $15 an hour in wages plus benefits …are now made in some other countries by that country’s businesses, paying those foreign workers $2.00 an hour and no benefits only for those goods to be reimported back into the country to sell to the same citizens that got laid off? Who agrees that this is a good sound policy for a government to follow so that its businesses are competitive and profitable…and that if its citizens suffer from it …then that is just the cost of living in a global economy…a global economy that is racing to find the cheapest labor it can find in all 4 corners of the globe to boost profits….at the expense of lower and lower wages? who agrees that a government that decided years ago that this was the path it wanted made the right choice for its people and workers?
I have a problem with bailing out a company with my tax dollars who sets up shop in other countries to enjoy the cheap labor.
Manufacturers did not go into business to provide jobs, the jobs are a result of the manufacturing facilities success.

A global economy is inevitable as technology advances. (It’s already here like it or not). It is best to learn how to embrace it and take advantage of it vs. try to stop the boulder that it is.
Cost of labor in China will rise as the people there demand more from the global economy. It still might not rise as high as Americans would like, but that’s the way of the world.

Outsourcing creates unemployment. Unemployment creates less spending by consumers for goods and services. Less spending by consumers for goods and services creates less cash flow for stores and companies, which leads to more unemployment and a cut in wages.
See where I’m going with this?

Is it all trade you are opposed to, or just services outsourcing? And if just services outsourcing – what is the difference that makes one right and one wrong?

Is any of this nonsense any good for the American worker and taxpayer? President Obama’s stimulus package for creating work in the construction industry in America in 2009 will greatly benefit illegal construction workers. The report says somewhere in the neighborhood of 300,000 illegal immigrants working construction in America will benefit from the stimulus package! This will also spur more illegal immigration knowing the more construction jobs gained by those here illegally, the more money they make can be sent back to Mexico and other nations to support their families and local towns! The Mexican government applauded Barack Obama for helping the Mexican illegals in his stimulus package and vowed to make sure he has all the cheap Mexican labor needed to do these projects and assured the president they will work a lot cheaper than the American construction workers are willing to accept. Mexico stated $8.00 an hour American money is plenty for construction workers, working in the USA, anymore than that is being greedy! The Mexican government is elated with the Obama Administration! The "White House" declined to comment to the Fox news network! Legal American workers simply cannot win according to Fox News!
