Washington -- Two leading Silicon Valley chief executives, reacting Wednesday to criticism they've shipped too many high-tech jobs overseas, defended hiring workers in India and China and warned that the United States and particularly California were in danger of losing their competitive edge to the Far East.

I for one am looking forward to the day we can outsource bean-counters and CEO's to India and China. After all, China graduates 40 million people every year, some of them should be able to supplant Fiorina and her ilk

"There is no job that is America's God-given right anymore," said Carly Fiorina, chairman of Palo Alto information technology giant Hewlett Packard.
HP has no God-given right to my business either.

Patriotism has died , American companies are killing themselves like this. When enough American jobs are lost who do these pricks think are going to buy their crap.

Lou Dobbs will have something to say about this.
The corporate elites themselves are immune from this, free to wreck companies (Fiorina helped wreck Lucent) and take millions for themselves while at the same time sending jobs offshore.

The HP family was right...! Carly is evil. Of course, out of the ruins of Lucent she emerged...before the lipstick wore off of the pig.

Have they sold the Lucent golf course yet?

The lies that they are both telling here are maddening. They should just tell the truth, there are plenty of smart people in the US to fill these jobs, but HP and Intel don't want to pay them $75K a year to do it. That's what its all about, they claim Americans are dumb and uneducated, but the only reason they are in love with the Indians and Chinese is because they work cheap.

(scrathing head) Do we really need to do business with the rest of the world?
I think we have almost all the resources we need right here at home.
I say only American companies and American citizens should be allowed to own American companies and American property.
And I say stop immigration, or we wil certainly not have enough resources, which will force us to trade with the reset of the world.
Problems solved (except for the pigs, who are willing to do anything just to make more money by selling their products overseas).
Self-reliance should be America's economy!

There is no job that is America's God-given right anymore Except for overpaid CEOs, government bureaucrats, socialist politicians and trial lawyers...

Boy, is she ever a reptilian, predatory looking thing.
No wonder she devotes her life to business.

Bastid. That's one reason why I went white box on my last computer and had a local geek shop build it.
To: rightisright
I thought Republicans were supposed to support free markets? And not just for goods, but also for labor.
But all I see on the board lately is that we don't want immigrants coming here to perform jobs that others won't. And we don't want companies outsourcing jobs to those who will perform the quality work for lower wages.
I reject the idea that protectionism equals patriotism.
To: oceanview
(Fiorina helped wreck Lucent) Dead wrong.
Fiorina was a star at Lucent, and had she stayed she would have ended up as their CEO eventually. I'm not taking a position with regard to outsourcing, but as a former Lucent shareholder, I think it is important for the record to be accurate about Fiorina's Lucent record. She did an outstanding job there.

Why don't they outsource her job?
Among all the hundreds of millions, there must be at least one Indian who is smart enough to do it for a LOT less money.

Hey Carly, no so called "American" coproration has a God given right to my business. I'm now starting to think about who I do business with and I support companies which support the places from which they earn their income.

the farm subsidies are used by the mega-farms of 2-10,000 acres and the international agribusiness corps to run the family farms out of business.
the mega-farms and agribusinesses use illegals and demand lower health standards in the meat and milk industries.
the long term goal of the international agribusinesses is to "harmonize" world agriculture.
translated, we be all working on the global democrat plantation.
