More on Why I'm not a Conservative

Does this really ring as honest or true to anybody?

Re: outsourcing

The benefits to the U.S. economy are obvious: prices move lower for consumers and profits rise for corporations. As for U.S. workers displaced by outsourcing, they are — once displaced — able to move to other more-productive, higher value-added activities.

Take the former rust belt where the complaints about outsourcing are the loudest. Data shows that Ohio has imported 242,000 jobs, Indiana 163,000, and Michigan 244,000. Outsourcing isn’t a symptom of America’s decline. (the fault here is how many jobs have we lost due to outsourcing is not acknowledged nor the location of the new jobs)

The benefits of outsourcing — lower prices and higher profits — are spread out among shareholders and consumers.


HA!! Who is an out-of-work consumer?

My stomach churns with this type of tripe.
