1. One that's "Of the Corporation, By the Corporation, For the..."
"What kind of government releases a self-serving corporate lobbying document as an objective study? What kind of government pays for a lobbyist white paper to the tune of $28,000 a page to promote their business agenda?"

3. The dean of US economists, Samuelson, doesn't think outsourcing is good
Edited on Fri Oct-14-05 04:46 PM by EVDebs
and neither does anyone who has been affected by this globalization fiasco. Keep up the good work RobertOak !

My latest 'find' on the hypocrisy of outsourcing/globalization is the fact that Capital Repatriation to the tune of $350 Billion for this year only (the neocons are only letting it happen this year) is the ONLY thing keeping the economy's head above water.

4. getting the word out
I think this stuff is over the heads of my readers.

I think I'm going to start an educational series on dailykos.

To me it's obvious we're being turned into a world of serfs and lords,
yet seemingly people are just not getting the big picture due to the
nasty economic details and concepts.

5. Robert, read this DU post about the suppressed report on outsourcing
prior to the Nov 2004 election

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x1851009

The neocons bury the truth. We've got to keep digging it back up.

6. no this is this report
But, yes they repressed any information before election 2004 big time.

The truth is Paul Samuelson's theory in results...it's depressing wages
for Americans permanently. Then there are the other aspects..
America has sold down the river it's leadership in technological and scientific advances by treating the scientists and engineers like a disposable commodity.

7. You mean they lied????Those "evil-doers" !!!!
Edited on Sun Oct-30-05 12:10 PM by SPIKE KATZ
My "mom" used to write on DU boards about the evils of outsourcing. She went out for a pack of cigarettes one day and never came back! Maybe the US-India PAC(Mah Jong group for US Senators interested in spreading Mah Jong, outsourcing, and clever tricks to keep Americans out of the jobforce)caught up with her! Or maybe she thought that she would get a decent job in a US company by moving to Bangladore and come back to the US as a H-1B. She tried to warn everyone of the evils of outsourcing and that alot of senators(including some dems) were on the take after witnessing a website naming senators in the US-India Pac. It became painfully obvious that our appointed officials had been lining their pockets and lying about how "outsourcing is good for our economy".What they meant to say was "it was good for THEIR economy"!!!
