The President said | Quote: | | ``It's true that a number of Americans have lost jobs because companies have shifted operations to India,'' he said in a speech previewing his trip next week to India and Pakistan. ``We must also recognize that India's growth is creating new opportunities for our businesses and farmers and workers.'' |
Thats pie in the sky nonsense. Show me where this glorious free trade has created more jobs for Americans than it has lost. He can't.
| Quote: | ``That's greater than the entire population of the United States. And this middle class is buying air conditioners, kitchen appliances and washing machines -- and a lot of them from American companies.
``Younger Indians are acquiring a taste for pizzas from Domino's, Pizza Hut,'' Bush added. ``And Air India ordered 68 planes valued at more than $11 billion from Boeing.''

Notice he said that they were being bought from American companies, he did not say they were being made in America. Air India may have ordered more than 68 planes from Boeing, but he did not mention that Boeing is moving or has already moved its operations to China and elsewhere.

This nations workers are being sold out by both Democrats and Republicans in the name of Free Trade. Why we continue to vote for either party is beyond me. What I wonder is how many jobs have to be lost untill we see that free trade is not working for America. It may be working for select companies, but they have been lobbying washington for years to sign more trade agreements so they can move the rest of the work to cheaper foreign labor markets.
Too bad we regular citizens dont have millions of dollars and an organization that lobbies our Congressmen and Senators on our behalf. If we keep voting the same clowns in, we'll keep seeing our jobs go to China and India. Its time to vote for a third party. Any third party. Send Washington a message.
