OPIC does not cost you a red cent. Therefore, it is not the use of taxpayer money to deprive you of a job.

The depriving it of funding from the US treasury would should not be a problem.

You say you are for "free markets", yet you want to erect barriers to "free markets" to protect your job. That costs me money, it takes money from my family, it is nothing more than the use of government power to enrich yourself. That, my friend is robbery, and those are the "points" you raised. Please tell me of any barriers to free trade I have proposed in this letter. I am for enforcing our immigration law as it stands. You sir are a liar and a fraud. Your defense of of US taxpayer dollars being spent for your personal gain and the gain of foreign nationals is disgusting. Why don't you either tell the truth or go play with the other lying Socialists, iternationalists, and Communists at DU.

By the way for anyone interested here is the OPIC web site OPIC . Their own website states they are an agency of the US Government. I note the ".gov" domain name. My information on their programs and policies comes from the OPIC website.

Now please back up one of your accusations with a reference or go back to DU. Truly, you did not use the term "living wage" for IT professionals. I used that to describe a policies that are the equivalent of a "living wage". You want to limit competition to protect your job and your wages. Explain how that differs from the "living wage" argument advanced by democrats. Both want to guarantee you a job, a wage, and a standard of living.

"Now please back up one of your accusations with a reference or go back to DU."

It's interesting that you would post a link to the OPIC website. You see I went to their website before I made any statements about that agency. I found the following:

"By charging market-based fees for its products, OPIC operates at no net cost to taxpayers. It has earned a profit in each year of operations — $175 million in 2002 — and built its substantial reserves to more than $4 billion. All of OPIC’s guaranty and insurance obligations are backed by OPIC’s own substantial reserves and by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government."

I also learned that it has created: "254,000 American jobs and $65 billion in exports".

I think that pretty well backs up my statements. Now, I suggest you retract your statement that I am a "liar and a fraud".
