one word: outsourcing.

sucks don't it?

[yankeefanz4life]

Outsourcing over seas has been a growing concern for a few years now. They are taking over all sectors of the customer service industry.

Companies that produce computers, Internet Service Providers, Routers, everything we "need" to make it through the day are struggling to provide us with cheaper products. How can ISP's offer DSL for $10 a month? By outsourcing offshore.

They can pay 12 people in India or Cebu what they pay one (1) here stateside. It's putting thousands of Americans out of work.

From a business standpoint do you blame them for outsourcing? I dont.

Those same "business outlooks" is what is destroying our economy here in this country.

"My favoritve President" said yesterday that we needed to open up for more trade with countries that put LAGRE taxes on our goods going onto their country. That would make our job market there improve. Makes great sense to me. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/sleep.gif[/img]
"He said the deals would level the playing field for American businesses and farmers, many of which now face high tariffs on exported products while other countries enjoy relatively open access to U.S. markets. And he argued that freer trade with allies serves "America's security and moral interests" around the globe.

"Expanding trade will help our economy grow," Bush said. "So I call on Congress to act quickly and get these agreements to my desk."

Got your wizard right there the -standard American politican (either party- I just hate the oil industry worse)...no idea what it is like to owe a house payment, trading with a country that taxes the crap out of our goods is stupid to begin with. Every thing that crosses into this country should be taxed the same as an American product to support ALL the government programs. Best way to level the playing field would be cut the freebies and send them a bill -need the world police? Get out the checkbook. Need a plane? Get out the checkbook.
