Question by BADD2THEBONE: Did you know that outsourcing doesn’t begin and end with IT and manufacturing jobs?
Outside of call center and tech support services, outsourcing firms provide a wide range of services including engineering, health care, administrative, financial and accounting services just to name a few:
Medical Billing, Medical Coding, Medical Transcription, Medical Claims Processing, Radiology ,Teleradiology, Tax Preparation, Banking and Financial Services, Bookkeeping, Payroll Processing, QuickBooks, Accounting, Coding Services, J2EE Programming, Website Maintenance, Network Maintenance, Product Engineering, FEA Services, Architectural Services, CAD Services, 3D Rendering, Architectural Drafting Services, Structural Engineering Design, Web Analytics, Market Research, Data Entry and Document Management … (this list really could go on and on).

It’s a bit concerning, don’t you think? Mind you these aren’t low wage/low skill jobs. It’s scary to think about the job insecurity that exists nowadays. Anyways, how do you feel about outsourcing tapping into more and more markets?
magicbright if you don’t believe every field i’ve listed can be or is being outsourced just take a look at some of the available services at these firms.

Question by TOKOLOSHIE: How many of these companies that exported jobs overseas got tax-payer funded bailouts? They had to be saved ..?
……. by the very people that they shafted? And the Bush Administration’s Hank Paulson fell over himself to throw billions at them?

Here is a list of confirmed companies that are “Exporting America.” These are U.S. companies either sending American jobs overseas, or choosing to employ cheap overseas labor, instead of American workers.

http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/lou.dobbs.tonight/popups/exporting.america/frameset.exclude.html

AIG, BoA, GM, JP Morgan, Merril Lynch, all there.

After going through the list, all I can say is:
Holy God, anybody with more than half a brain knows that no matter how cheap you can make your product, if you have put the main consumers (The US) out of their jobs, you are going to sell donkeyshit.
And to top it all, if you know you are – sooner or later – going to ship a person’s job overseas, how in God’s name can you give him/her a mortgage loan?
And then, flatout lying, sell these worthless pieces of paper to overseas banks?
And then, the final insult, pay yourselves huge ‘performance bonuses’?

And we know that there is a certain Political Party that is going to oppose regulating these total halfwits on Wall Street, don’t we?
And a good many of you are going to vote for them, aren’t you?

(The real ‘terrorists’ are right on Wall Street. In terms of sheer human tradegy, their ‘contribution’ is greater than that of 9/11.)

“When a good or service is produced at lower
cost in another country, it makes sense to import
it rather than to produce it domestically.”
—Economic Report of the President, p. 25,
February 2004

“Outsourcing is just a new way of doing
international trade. More things are tradable
than were tradable in the past. And that’s a
good thing.”
—N. Gregory Mankiw, Chairman of
President Bush’s Council of Economic
Advisors, Feb. 9, 2004

The outsourcing of U.S. jobs “is part of trade…
and there can’t be any doubt about the
fact that trade makes the economy stronger.”
—U.S. Treasury Secretary John Snow,
March 29, 2004

I reckon America really dodged the bullet when Barack Obama beat John McCain for the Presidency. People like Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rove, Paulson, et al could have been roaming the halls of the White House right now. Look at the infantile behavior of the majority of GOP Senators lately and count your blessings.

There, I feel much better now.

(But life would be so much easier if we could just get ourselves to blame it all on Barack Obama, wouldn’t it? Let’s keep the memory short?)
Hey ‘You Crazy Dems’:
So all the jobs went to Mexico? Or CANADA?
Lol!

The part you missed is that those are all banks and the banks control our government and have since 1913.
