Well, it's good that they are jobs.
It's not really good that they are
government jobs. But they are jobs.

British Defense Giant Buys VT Group

Foriegn corporations buying U.S. corportations has always
had a blurring affect on outsourcing. Some jobs stay and
some jobs go.

Boeing Tankers

I'm sure this would create American jobs.
However, Boeing outsources parts of its aircraft.
Engines are made by GE, Rolls Royce, Pratt Whitney etc.
Also brakes cables even the wings are outsourced for most
commercial aircraft. A lot of these components are made
in other countries. So don't get to excited about bashing
Airbus. It's a political thing.

Lost Green Jobs

I still say; why don't the guys in Washington understand?
When corporations outsource jobs to India and China they
are getting rid of their own tax base. Yet they keep expecting
us, unemployeed or not, to keep paying taxes.
What's wrong with this picture??

Outsourcing

As long as this outsourcing is to companies
within the United States. Fine. The government
should keep all the jobs here.
Why is it that our government still doesn't get
the idea, when you push jobs out of this country
you destroy the tax base. And they continue to
raise taxes. Who's suppose to pay taxes without
a job. It's so simple that I can understand it.
And I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Jobless Claims Bill

This is good for the unemployed.
Although I'm not sure of the impact a
provision gives business for hiring the
unemployed. It would exempt employers from
Social Security payroll taxes on new hires
who were unemployed.

MS DLC

(click title for link)
If you are not in the workforce right now
it would be wise to get a certificate for this.
MS DLC (Microsoft Digital Literacy Course.)
Even if you have been exposed to everything this course offers, more
and more companies are having you take the flash tests to prove it.
It's free.
It couldn't hurt.

Stimulus-Funded High Speed Rail Likely To Lose Money And Be Built By Chinese Companies

Why is it that congress & local government expect
corporations to retain jobs here in this country
and then turn around and outsource and in some states
sell our infrastructure to foreign intrests.
If you remember there are toll roads in northern Indiana
and Illinois that now belong to business in other countries.
Our ports are controlled by business in other countries.
If the Chinese build our high speed rail systems with
their technology and money, will they then own the infrastruture?
We, with our dollars, pay for these projects. Then, after they
are built, we pay to ride and if they don't break even, we
pay to subsidize.
Why do we have ITAR laws?
Why do the idiots in Washington wonder why the tax base
is shrinking?
They are giving it all away.........
