Snow Reignites Fight Over Job Outsourcing
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=514&e=3&u=/ap/20040331/ap_on_el_pr/snow_job_losses

These people must think we are all so fucking stupid it's funny. This little company lays off 90 people. wWell that is 90 people who are no longer paying taxes, no longer has discretionary spending money; so they are not buying anything they absolutely don't need. So how does that help the economy grow? If you are like me, I could not find a job after sspending 1 1/2 years and $5,000 of my own money to retrain myself. So I started a small website business. So tell me do you think the 90 Chinese that get the jobs are going to buy things from my business?

1. It would be cool to outsource this administration
Especially since billions of dollars in jobs and cash are going abroad while, jobs and schools over here are deteriorating!

4. 90 Chinese you must be smoking something they can hire 300 Chinese
and not come even close to what they were paying the 90 Americans. Those 300 still will not being buying yours or anyone elses products or services based in America though.

5. I thought that was pretty much a given on how many they could hire for
what they are paying the Americans. You got my other point loud and clear! So who benefits from all this? Need I say it?

11. I was trying to be funny, but you know what there are a lot of americans
who don't know what the real costs are. What really pisses me off is that people with jobs don't understand that when they don't support people who lose their jobs through outsourcing it's only a matter of time before it will be their turn.

6. Spend only what you must so the SOBs won't make money off
of outsourcing our jobs. The USA is the main market for the greed pigs. They are selling what we used to produce back to us. Don't buy unless you have to and if possible buy American.

8. HA HA HA Excuse me while I laugh
It just goes to show you the mental block this administration has to people in general. "But the corporations think it's good. So why doesn't everybody think so?"

Bush had to shush George Mankiw for saying the same thing not too long ago = outsourcing is awesome. They just can't understand why people are pissed about it.

Now John "Snowjob" Snow is saying the same thing.

Disconnect.

9. Snow Job
What will this god-damned idiot and his fellow Neo CONS do when ALL the good paying jobs have gone to India, Ireland or Israel?

How will we be able to shop at Wal Mart when they pay slave wages?

We need to put the WTO, GATT and NAFTA where they belong, a barbecue and set them on fire!

AMERICA FIRST!

12. I'm actually surprised that
the Bush hasn't fired Snow and made a public example out of him already. This White House is supposed to be the most politically-savvy White House ever, and they're looking like idiots every day Greg Mankiw or John Snow open their mouths.

Please George W, keep John Snow and Greg Mankiw in your administration! They are Kerry's ticket to the White House.
