Lou Dobbs Repeat on CNN shows Hillary favoring Indian Jobs...to Train Americans

Something about Lou Dobbs Book here and a reviewer who says...Lou is late to focus on this but has a few things in his book. BTW: I can't stand Lou Dobbs...but from time to time...he manages to put forth an issue that folks need to focus on and discuss. What CNN is doing is trashing Hillary...but it's DLC HILLARY...and one wonders if DLC is still in favor of exporting jobs to India trashing American Techies who have high skills in favor of "outsourcing" or what CNN accuses Hillary of in that they say Hillary is calling for Indian Tech workers to get visas to come in and TRAIN AMERICAN WORKERS because American Techies aren't GOOD ENOUGH! :eyes:

Predicitions that have come true, March 11, 2007
By Christopher G. Kamine (Long Island, NY USA) -

Lou Dobbs writes a book on outsourcing and corporate greed. The wonder of this book was that it was written in 2004, in the early stages of the outsourcing pandemic in this county. Most of his charges have come 100% true in current day. This book is a simple read - I finished it in about 4 hours and is easily read.

He curtails so called free trade agreements such as NAFTA, CAFTA and FTAA and organization such as the WTO and gives many examples of how these free trade agreements are completely unbalanced and unfair to the US worker and economy. US workers have been forced to compete (and history has now show)and loose to third world labor in China and Mexico. He was accused of being a "protectionist" when the reality is most people do not call for no trade with other countries. They call for fair and balanced trade. He explains how countries have set high tariffs and quotas on US imports but the US maintains little to no quotas and tariffs - and these are countries we are in trade agreements with. US businesses relocate our jobs and manufacturing base to cheap labor and unregulated markets in developing nations to only re import their good to the US. We are being exploited at the expense of corporate greed which does not have this nation's interests in sight. I am very unhappy with the fact that amongst his laundry list of present day status quo of terribly chartered agreements by our current administrations (Bush and Clinton), he does not really charge our nation's citizens with their insatiable appetite for consumption of flat screen TV's and just about any other exorbitant commodity we purchase. This has been a major factor on why these agreements stay in effect - our out of control consumer consumption has become culture at which it becomes very hard to change. But then again, most Americans really do not have a tiny grasp on the big picture because they are ignorant of it. They simply get annoyed when they call their bank customer service and wind up speaking to a representative in India of which they can't understand. Mr.s Dobbs goes into detail on how US companies have used the tax systems to their advantage and wind up paying no tax which leaves the middle class to pick up the burden. He gives a very good account of local and state government exporting their work to foreign countries! One of the most important discussions in the book is where early proponent of "free trade" would say that as our manufacturing base (about 3 million jobs) leaves the country, we will replace these jobs with higher level professional and services jobs (IT, lawyers, accountants). He details how we have now begun exporting these "replacement" jobs to our trading partners. What's left next to go? Since we have become now dependent on imports for our basic needs and have financed both consumer and economic debt and deficit with foreign funds - we have become very dependent and vulnerable as the worlds sole superpower.

I found this book a little bit of "preaching to the choir". I would highly recommend this to a person looking to wet their feet in trade issues of present day. Someone who has done much reading on the fleecing of the middle class will have come across much of what Mr.s Dobbs speaks about. Nonetheless, it still has some very good informative material that have been proven to be the reality. My last grievance is that of his 10 chapters of laundry type lists and critiques - 1 is devoted to finding solutions. I find this to be the case with his other book - "war on the Middle class (which I highly recommend). Mr. Dobbs is truly a great popularist of our present day. And if you watch his nightly CNN "Lou Dobbs Tonight' you'll know he committed to leveling the playing field for the middle class.

for hi-tech workers, and not the lmanufacturing, construction, and service employees displaced by outsourcing and insourcing. A vote for Hillary will get you more DLC policy.

Asia Times reported on her visit to India in feb-March 2005

Hillary Clinton woos India
http://www.atimes.com/atimes/South_Asia/GC01Df03.html

My profession is very much impacted by outsourcing jobs to India. That's one of the main reasons why I won't support Hillary in the primary and general election. I'm also not impressed with her so called leadership skills. She made a bad decision in supporting the 2002 Iraq War Resolution and continues to support keeping some troops in Iraq. Those troops would get massacred once the Shiites and Sunnis got tired of them.
