I believe that the outsourcing craze is part of the Republican strategy

[KlatooBNikto]

to impoverish the intelligentsia in this country which they see as their primary opposition.By eliminating this opposition, they believe that they will remove any doubts about their policies and consolidate their power.

1. Nah, it's all about cheap labor. That's all they care about.

This faith-based stuff, however, is another thing entirely.


"So I don't worry about, and people shouldn't
worry about a draft. . . I think we're in good
shape, I really do. And, if not, we'll -- I'll address
the nation. But I don't see any need to right now."
- G. W. Bush (Source: The Whitehouse)

4. It's not just a republican thing though

Clinton is in part responsible for NAFTA and WTO.

10. unfortunately, you are correct,

however the specific and purposeful goal of this particular administration is to keep the masses busy with "survival".

[Silverhair]

5. Even Kerry said that outsourcing will continue.

It is the natural result of very cheap global communications. The best you can do is level the playing field so that the gov't is not helping outsourcing.

9. Participation in global markets can be minimized

it does not have to be all or nothing. If developing countries have to compete against major US corporations they will never be on a level playing field. They will always be slaves to US corporations.

6. Listen Up, the NEOCON's believe if they destroy society a UTOPIA will

rise out of the ashes... sort of like Noah's Ark only they carry all that is necessary to repopulate the world after total destruction. Only their idea's have any validity.. only their social class is worthy of surviving, except for some eunuch slaves of course....

11. you've heard of "zero year baghdad"?

well, this is "zero year usa"!

[OutsourceBush]

7. It's like union busting on steroids

they plan to bust all Americans down to the same wages the rest of the world makes. If it continues, we will not even be able to afford housing. How can you pay rent or buy a house on minimum wage or less? You can't!

[troubadour]

8. hmm

interesting

[sweetheart]

12. Bingo! its no accident

Trial lawyers are next because they're largest dem doners
Then the federal employees are next
....

The republicans are going down the list to destroy ever single
aspect of opposition, by plunging everyone in to poverty.

"cheap labour" presumes that there is no intent... rather there is,
as without any resources in a plutocracy, there can be no opposition.
