the Florida Department of Children and Families is in India

Sometimes, the Legislature gets needlessly outraged over small things. This week, however, the Legislature got rightly outraged over a small thing.

Unemployed Floridians who call the state Department of Children and Families for help with food stamps find themselves talking to someone in India. That's because JP Morgan Chase, which is getting $50 million over three years to provide that call-in help, outsourced the work.

Oh, and JP Morgan Chase got $25 billion in Troubled Asset Relief Program money.

There may be nothing the state can do about that contract except not renew it. But the idea that American taxpayers are indirectly subsidizing the outsourcing of jobs in this economy is outrageous.
