Exporting America (CNN's Lou Dobbs on Corporations selling-out Americans)

CNN /Lou Dobbs ^ | 5/06 | Lou Dobbs

[Lunatic Fringe]

What article..? It's just a list.

Lou Dobbs is another fear-monger who still believes in a post-WWII economy of "Us vs. The World". It's not like that anymore.

British Petroleum, Nokia, Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, Mercedes, Michelin, etc. all export jobs from their countries to the U.S. Pretty good outfits to work for, I've heard.

Add NetTest North America, world leading fiber optic test equipment manufacturer in Utica, NY, just dissolved and being sent to Japan by new owner Anritsu.\

Fifteen years down the flusher.

Was Perot "wrong" in his approach, or his message?

Both. He offered no solutions, and proved he was a mental case when he accused GHW Bush of trying to sabotage his daughter's wedding.

That's not outsourcing. That's bringing production home. Anritsu is a Japanese company.

Nice attitude to take. FYI, a majority of the working class in private industry voted GOP in 2004, and have been the key to the GOP being in the majority, or do you think the GOP winning in states such as OH, MO, and WV are just flukes?

Keep the attitude up for long, and keep the attitude that profits must be made at all and in cost in the short term by job outsorucing and importation of cheap labor, and the GOP will clearly be out of the majority.

Outcomes the same.

[sinkspur]

Outcomes the same.

Why didn't you buy the company?

[RFT1]

Oh you are an OBL, figures you dont understand the long term.

looky here... a comedian

Sadly the "free" traders here have no sympathy at all, to me its really an extension of an arrogant jock-frat type attitude one sees at universities. Anyways, there is a train wreck heading towrds America between open borders and Free Trade, and the results scare me, the results being a US that is a Social Democracy with social problems of Brazil.

If I were Haliburton I would not tolerate the abuse for very long.

Why not??? Haliburton wouldn't make a dime if it didn't have any employees...

[1rudeboy]

We must find a way to hamstring the companies on this list in the name of national security.

[Iscool]

Heinz has factories in Indonesia and Thailand.....5-8 dollars a day for the workers.

Heinz still has plants in the U.S...As far as I know, Americans buy American made Heinz Ketchup and pickles...

'Jolly Green Giant' vegetables however, all come from Mexico...

[Iscool]

The solution is to allow any company that wants to, to move to China where there are no rules and regulations...As long as those companies are not allowed to sell their products back to the U.S., things will work out fine...
I support that 100 percent...

Most all the automobile plants were forced to locate in the U.S. due to that ugly free trader word "tariffs".

Don't you remember when Clinton put 100% tariffs on luxury cars. Everyone thought they would never buy a Mercedes again. Weep, weep, cry, cry. Daimler and Mercedes merged with tariffs as one of the reasons. Then a plant was built in Alabama.

[Jorge]

The problem goes way beyond this list. And for many more years than anyone can fathom.

Welcome to the 21st Century.

I didn't hear anyone complaining while the USA prospered and most of the 3rd world languished in poverty.

NOTHING is owed to us.

LOL!! You two are funny. If a Japanese company was bought by an American company, and the AMerican company brought the production work back to the states, you both would be cheering.

When a Japanese company acts like you'd like an American company to act, you complain that they're stabbing Americans in the back.

The economic ignorance of some on FR is astounding.

You gotta give Dobbs credit for sticking to his "down with illegal immigaration guns at any cost" mantra. He has been incredibly consistent.

No on else in his job as a 6 pm news host has done anything even close especially on the enemy of all freedom net CNN.
