[Eric Hogue 1380 KTKZ]

One of these days we are going to have to embrace the FACT of the Global Economy. Outsourced jobs create better budgets for comanies to invest in innovation. Remember, an 'isolationist economy' will kill America and American jobs! The future is in innovation, not remedial outsourced jobs.

Plus, do you think we need Pakistan right now? If we were not supporting Iandia with their economy, they would be howling over our deposits into Pakistan - there enemy. There is more to the story than just a telemarketing job. Global economics is a must for America to servive...if not, then we keep our jobs and the world developes the new frontier of innovation.

What about lower hurdles when it comes to government standards, and union burdens for companies who hold factory jobs and tech jobs. Might be nice to see the unions call off the dogs so these 'outsourced jobs' would slow down.

Too many fronts in this issue to discuss in a thread, care to learn more tune to 1380 KTKZ.

And shouldn't India do so in reciprocation? They're not.

"embrace the FACT of the Global Economy"
Global economy means higher standard of living for India, China, and Vietnam - lower standard of living in America. These newly successful countries have the one thing that used to be our strength - homogenous workforces. America on the other hand is becoming less assimilated and more fragmented every day. Our media and schools are intentionally dumbing our children down. Unless we have leadership that will stand up for America's people and culture then we are finished as a nation. I don't see either Bush or Kerry helping at all.

Really? As another poster asked, if this is true, then why isn't India outsourcing their work? As matters stand, their economy is growing more quickly than our own.

China has high tariffs. More than that, they have a currency pegged to the dollar - this is all the very opposite of the free-trade ideal so widely espoused, and so seldom practiced.

It is interesting, is it not, that the UN favors free trade. Most of the UN's policies are not favorable to the US. Now, might it be possible - just possible - that free trade is not in our best interests?

Amen brother. Preach it! At one time, the future may have been in "plastics" as the line in the movie had it. Today, the future is in innovation. Those that innovate and adapt will survive. Those that don't, or those that do it half-heartedly with a stinking attitude, will shrivel. Those that innovate and adapt more quickly than others and do it with the right attitude, will be wealthy.

You're a flippin idiot.

Our "trade policies" throw the American worker under the bus, and ya know what @$$hole? They vote.

One of these days traitors like you will get it - piss off patriotic Americans long enough and you will pay the price. All the money in the world won't save people like you then.

You've obviously missed about 10,000 posts on this issue, and your "skim-over-the-BushBot-top" approach may work on AM radio.

But don't pretend that you're making a contribution here..

Yep. The people of Russia had to embrace the FACT of the communist revolution. (Hint: because something may be a FACT does not mean it is GOOD.)

Innovation. Innovation. This means the innovative products and processes will be in America or India? If in India, what good does that do us?

I do believe that during America's greatest growth and ascendancy to power was when it was "isolationist". (Incidentally, the word "isolationist" is an artificially loaded term like "racist", "feminist" and "homophobe" intended to stifle debate and scrutiny that its subject cannot stand.)

Only the most shallow thinkers, or those with destruction of national sovereignty and globalist agenda, can possibly think bleeding the wealth of the nation to foreign countries can be good for the nation.

"Innovation". LOL! Who gives a shit if a corporation grows wealthier if that wealth is not turned into the very nation whose free system allowed them to exist in the first place?

What does sending our technology, manufacturing, and IT-enabled services off shore and importing those goods and services have to do with "the Global Economy?" It's jobs chasing cheap labor. Fine. But call it what it is, please.

Transferring wealth to "developing countries" is a Kyoto objective but "free" trade is beating the leftist swine vomit, enviro-wacko watermellons to the punch.

Well I guess that until these jobs start dragging middle and upper management jobs along with them we'll just have to watch this mild form of pump and dump (i.e., short term economic advantage for corporate officers' stock options) at work.

Lower the hurdles of government regs? Free traders tell us all the time that we benefit from Japan and Europe offshoring to us. They do okay, I guess. Why can't our own corporations handle it? BTW I agree with you about government regs being a problem. I'm just wondering how Japan and European countries handle the regs.

Don't waste your time. These Buchanan protectionists are just too f'ing stupid to understand basic reality.

They are the decendants of the whiners over the years that complained about lost jobs in coal mines and making horse carriages.

They have to be subsidized by government either with flat out welfare or laws to protect them from having to compete with others that aren't as stupid as they are. You know the types. They think they deserve to be paid $50K a year to put groceries in a bag. And then they unionize and complain if they get fired for constantly putting the bread in the bottom of the sack with canned goods on top.

It's pure socialism. All of a sudden, every idiot that decided to smoke pot and drink beer in high school and learn nothing thinks they have a right to other people's money so they can be subsidized for their laziness.

Whether they do it through the welfare system or government regulation, the results are the same.

They also have no clue how business works. If you are an American company and get in the Chinese market, it's called "outsourcing" if you open a place in China to manufacture or service that market. The way these idiots think, everything would be shipped. Talk about logistical nonsense.

But I'll also bet they think Budweiser brews all of their beer in St. Louis and ships it around the country and the world. But of course anyone with actual ability to use cognitive thought knows they have brewing facilities all over the U.S. and the world.

So I guess all the people of Missouri should be complaining Anheuser-Busch outsources jobs to New Hampshire and other states they brew in.
