"Hillary Bashing"

[lexx21]

258. Yes and Obama said...

that we were "proud" to bolster the economy of India when he made a state visit there. My head still hasn't stopped spinning.

Unfortunately we are presented with two sides of the same coin and no REAL choice as to who will be president. At this point we can either choose a "liberal", and I do use that term very loosely, who will tow the corporate line when it comes to outsourcing, or a flaming tea bagger who will tow the corporate line when it comes to outsourcing.

I worked at a company recently (I'm an IT worker and most of my jobs are contract) where ALL of the SAP developers were H1-B visa holders. So there is no one in the US that knows how to write code for SAP? Really? The sad fact is that they make good buck compared to what they would make back home and companies hire them over American workers because they can get the H1-B workers cheaper.

H1-B visa issuance needs to be cut out as does the loopholes for offshore jobs. When I was working for IBM, most of the people that I supported were either in South America or India. I supported absolutely NO ONE here in the US. Then they took my department and sent it to India. Go figure.

I am not here trying to bash Obama. I voted for the guy. I like the fact that he got the ACA passed and when the bail out happened in his first term that he held the companies feet to the fire when it came to using the money. However.....and this is a HUGE however....... nothing has been done as far as curbing corporate tax evasion or forcing companies to stop offshoring jobs.

If you want the economy to be better, hire the people. It's simple. Congress won't pass anything? Fine, then you veto every bill that comes across your desk until they do. Fight fire with fire.

Rant over.
