(32,324 posts)Has already outsourced the student loan jobs (Or most of them anyway.)
So why wouldn't Social Security be next?
And pls note, in the last thirty years, there has been no one Presidential candidate from either Big Party who believes there is anything that can be done about returning jobs to Americans.
In a sense, Obama the 2008 Candidate was an exception, as he stated in his campaigning that he would "undo" NAFTA. But then he soon got more involved in the wars, and the appointing of Monsanto ex-officials to the FDA and CDC, and the Geithner/Bernanke types to their economic top spots. So in the flurry to do all that, he forgot to undo NAFTA.
And now those of us who follow such dismal reports understand that he is also behind the TPP, and the newer agreement the TIS agreement, is it? The later has a provision wherein it will be highly illegal to even ask to know what is contained! (Nothing would be known at all about this newer trade agreement, except for Wikileaks! No wonder Obama hates Greenwald, Assange and Snowden...)
However in other nations, the elected officials create legislation that doesn't allow their corporations to hire people in other nations to do their data entry, their customer service etc.
