Last week I heard Rush Limbaugh said that according to his studies, number of in-sourcing job out numbers the out-sourcing one. I even wrote to Rush asking him to give the data to the President. Sick of Kerry's fals accusations.

As usual, Bruce Bartlet is full of globaloney.

Infosys to hire 4,500 more techies: (In India)

[RogueIsland]

Tell it to the people I actually know who were fired so their jobs could be shipped to India.

This deserves an outsourcing bump! Great post, xsysmgr.

Rush Limbaugh is wrong.
Since Dubya took office, the amount of Direct Foreign Investment in the United States (insourcing) has plummeted 80%.

Bruce Bartlett is an idiot.

Maybe NRO should follow Reuters and start locating it's analysts offshore.

Bruce Bartlett is a moron. He somehow thinks that $75,000 / yr software engineering jobs are equivalent to $12 / hr construction jobs at the labor pool.

It's important to recognize that these new jobs are almost entirely outside IT. According to Global Insight, the largest beneficiary is construction, which will gain 75,757 net new jobs due to outsourcing. Other industrial gainers are transportation and utilities (63,513), education and health services (47,260), and wholesale trade (43,359).

A national medical transciptionist company with a local office in my area outsourced all the jobs (47) to India.

Tell this story to those 47 people.

Kinda like the old story: Do you know the difference between a recession and a depression? A recession is when you neighbor gets laid off. A depression is when you get laid off.

I know many many people in the tech sector who lost their jobs to outsourcing can tell you a thing or two about this article.

FDI is not insourcing. I suspect you know that Willie, and your simply blowing smoke up the butts of your friends that don't know any better.

I'm sure a good number of them post here. Their replies usually begin with, "waaah."

In August, economist Charles Schultze, chairman of the CEA under President Carter, looked at the number of jobs lost to outsourcing.

What Schultze (and by extension Bartlett) miss is the unseen. While they have their own data to show that jobs aren't being lost to outsourcing, they just have to look at the 40k a month job growth over the past 4 years (100k below what's needed to keep up with workforce growth) to see what's not being done, and that's job growth.

[Willie Green]

FDI is not insourcing.

Of course it is.
Why else would you be so quick to deny it with no substantive arguement to back it up?
Just the same old skanky ad hominems that we've come to expect from you.

Sadly, the libs have framed the issue already and the President cannot afford to say tonight that outsourcing is not a problem.

Whatever job you hold in life I hope it gets outsourced. Uncompassionate people need to be taught a lesson in civility once in a while.
