new manufacturing jobs by g.w.

To all you libs- How about insourcing jobs? Let's see what cars are made here; Toyota, Subaru, Mercedes, BMW...

We live in a global economy whether you like it or not. And, last I checked, your role model the good ol' USSR went in the tank.

I know it is hard to see your ideas fail and be swept into the dust-bin of history. But, just remember, as liberalism slips away and loosens it's death grip on humanity, true achievement and freedom to pursue our destinies unfettered are just around the corner.

After more research I may have to retract my statement about jobs not being created. I've discovered some crediable research that suggests the way we measure jobs is not completely accurate. Productivity is still on the rise, but more then likely the job numbers we have from 2000-2001 are too high, and the job numbers we have today are too low. On an interesting note, the last time we supposedly have a "jobless recovery", back in 1991-1992, the numbers turned out to be wrong, in 1993-1994 the BLS revised employment numbers which showed that jobs were created during 1992, which might have caused the election that year to turn out different.

Thread hijacked to flying.

Wiggums, have you been flying that airplane in the avatar? It's been a while since I looked out the window and saw that tank.

The avtar looks like a 35, I think I see the wing extension in there...I fly the 24/25 along with Falcons. Ironicly, my job is tied to manufacturing, and we are getting real busy.

Interesting article that explains why our jobs data might not be completely accurate.

Lets take this outsourcing issue to its logical conclusion. The premise of the argument for those in favor of outsourcing seems to be that its good for Americans because we can buy things cheaper.

Hypothetically, the best of all possible worlds would be one in which we could buy things as cheap as possible. I propose dropping all H1B visa requirements and costs and allow as many foreigners to come here and work as possible. If true competition is so fantastic, lets really compete and not just pretend and mouth platitudes toward a free market economy.

Anybody passing the bar can be a lawyer, anyone board certified can be a doctor, anyone passing the CPA exam can be a CPA, regardless of nationality. Anybody with 500 hours single 100 multi can be hired by an airline. Forgive me if my hours aren't correct.

Within 10 years, 10s of millions American jobs would be lost due to foreigners filling the positions for less money. But ultimately, this would be good for all of us since we could buy things cheaper. Correct?

Lets take it another step, rescind all laws against cabotage and allow foreign carriers to fly point to point in the US. This would be the best for the US consumer, because we could buy cheaper airline tickets as a result. Truly a great plan for America.

Surfnhole...GREAT POST.

WIGGUMS, you are so wrong. Outsourcing is horrible for the US.
