Let's be truthful


A lot has been said and written about the out-sourcing of jobs from the U.S. to other countries recently, especially to India and Pakistan, but the reality check below from the "blameindiawatch" blogspot is worth considering so we don't get too pushed out of shape on this matter.

----------------------------

"Some U.S. corporations are sending jobs -- including high-tech information technology (search) jobs -- overseas, but at least one economist says the effort to remain competitive in a tough global marketplace has resulted in plenty of jobs coming from abroad to the United States.

"If we want to stop all the outsourcing (search) of jobs, where foreign workers are employed by U.S. companies, than we should make sure that all the Honda workers in Ohio get fired, that all the BMW workers in South Carolina get fired, all the Sony workers, you know where I'm going," said Heritage Foundation economist Tim Kane."

I somehow think that this is rapidly becoming a political football and that there is much polarization of opinion on this matter. Unfortunately it is an election year in which a very inarticulate and less-than-honest president will do just about anything to retain his position so hang on folks, there's a bumpy road ahead.
