I know I'm breaking the 2/day rule, but
this one made my gorge rise.
Secretary of State Colin Powell, encountering the other side of a tempestuous debate in the United States, sought to assure Indians that the Bush administration would not try to halt the outsourcing of high-technology jobs to their country.
But whereas American politicians have deplored the loss of such jobs, it is clear that the anxiety in India focuses on threats by some in Congress to try to stop the transfer by legislation.
"Outsourcing is a natural effect of the global economic system and the rise of the Internet and broadband communications," Powell said. "You're not going to eliminate outsourcing. But at the same time, when you outsource jobs, it becomes a political issue in anybody's country."
I want to rub the heels of my hands against my eyes until they bleed. WHO IS THIS ADMINISTRATION WORKING FOR??? It's obviously NOT the American people!!!
First of all, this disgusts me because it's painful to watch Colin Powell continue to plunge deeper into the hole he's dug for himself. Secondly, we've had so many jobs lost since the Bushies took office, and they're pledging to KEEP SHIPPING THOSE JOBS AWAY FROM AMERICANS!!!
This news needs to be slapped all over the blogosphere. The Bushies are committed to seeing this country's jobs exported, all in the name of corporate profits. This isn't going to end until your job, my job, everybody's job is in jeopardy.
