NEW DELHI, India (CNN) -- Praising India's expanding economy, President Bush warned Friday that fears about job outsourcing to other nations should not prompt the United States to limit global trade. "It's ... important to remember that when someone loses a job it's an incredibly difficult period for the worker and their families," Bush said in a speech in New Delhi. "It's true that some Americans have lost jobs when their companies move their operations overseas," he said. "Some people believe the answer to this problem is to wall off our economy from the world through protectionist policies. I strongly disagree."

And most of them will be foreign students.
I am not sure what you mean by globalism but as far as economics is concerned global trade is the natural result of improvments in transportation and communication, rather than some international plot
The international plot can be seen in what the liberal Democrats have been doing for the last 70 years to handicap and then destroy the most productive economic engine the world has ever seen, free enterprise as practiced by the USA. The plot is at home, not over there somewhere.
exactly.
If that is GW's new, revised solution to Social Security, this nation is in big trouble."
If W said that he was talking about how SS is now, not how he wants it to be. His new, revised solution is privitization to replace the ponzi cheme that requires more and more new players like the immigrants.
People waited for days in lines backed up for miles, just to get their daily rations of food and commodities. Supermarkets didn't have enough products to stock the shelves with. They were usually empty.
Given two choices:
A: You personally are worse off, but your neighbor is much worse off.
and
B: You are only slightly better off, but your neighbor is much better off.
It's shocking how many would actually choose option A. That's Communism in a nutshell. Shared misery.
"I'm off, big thunderstorms. We'll argue later. Regards."
That ONE post is very telling.
All SF wants to do is argue.
Why don't you put "it" on your ignore list.
That would save a lot of time and energy.
The only way to stop this is to send money to GOP candidates in vulnerable districts. You can rest assured that they will be the rightward most leaning candidates in those races who are viable.
Deserves a repeat.
I joined the thread late, too.
And, I'm going to have to leave it soon.
I must say that I totally agree with you.
I've always respected your well thought out posts.
After reading the posts of the others, I respect them, too.
In fact, ctdonath2 and I have very close signup dates.
I'm sorry I haven't seen you before.
It's nice to meet you. ;o)
Your post was very good.
Right. Programming is programming no matter who it is done by. Now that some structure (Structured analysis, object oriented design, new languages, etc.) has finally been adopted by the software and IT profession there is no need to pay twice as much for the same thing. Unless a programmer has upgraded himself to a system analyst, designer or systems engineer his usefulness has been surpassed.
Another factor that works against the older worker is the escalating cost of healthcare and retirements benefits. The older workers cost more than younger workers in these programs for obvious reasons. CFO's and other bottomline managers cut the financial fat.
Thanks and bye. See you again soon we hope.
I am with the two way street camp. I think President Bush is paving the way for such a street. Don't you agree?
misery loves company.
Thank you! ;o)
I'm around, although infrequently.
And, I really do appreciate your posts.
They are very reasoned, and thoughtful.
It was very good to see you. ;o)
And the fact that he's following around the threads, staring fights, out of thin air, proves exactly what he's interested in. Helpful hint...he said it himself; a FIGHT.
Yes, ma'am.
Your "helpful hint" is exactly what is going on.
Some folks would argue with a toaster. ;o)
ROTFLOL!
That is obvious. ;o)
BINGO!!
You can't whine about "Out-Sourcing" until you understand OUT-FORCING! 3+ Decades of socialism has OUT-FORCED And made uncompetitive MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of US Jobs! How many of you folks think the term "RUST BELT" is something that came along since Bush was in office??
It's not WALMART chasing our jobs overseas, it's Over-Regulation, Over-Unionization, Over-taxation, stifling environmental rules, and my personal favorite, UNLIMITED CIVIL LIABILTY!!
Until we get a handle on ALL of these (and we aren't even trying) that giant sucking sound is your JOB, leaving America......
