India thinks displacing American workers is "trade" and the U.S. is "protectionist"

This is pretty incredible. India believes displacing American workers with imported Indian ones is somehow a trade issue. Slave trade maybe.

According to AFP, India is thinking of challenging the fact a nation gets to control it's own immigration policy, along with the very notion that somehow giving U.S. jobs away to foreign nations, is something the WTO would rule against the United States on.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner In India, India wants our jobs as "trade"

Here goes our U.S. Treasury Secretary to India. Of course India is demanding our jobs.

India wants the U.S. to relax its export controls over high-tech products. The country also would like the U.S. Congress to give work visas to more Indian high-tech workers.

And in the U.S., business leaders want India to open up its defense, banking and retail sectors.

Guess who's celebrating US health care reform? Go ahead, just guess

From the India Economic Times:

MUMBAI: The outsourcing industry received its biggest bonanza yet with the US healthcare bill being passed by the House of Representatives. The opportunity that it throws up for outsourcers is huge and far bigger than the Y2K, which included only changing code, said experts. When the bill becomes law, it will bring around 32 million more Americans under insurance cover, pushing healthcare providers and insurance firms to become more efficient and opening up demand for less-expensive services, better technology and business intelligence.

“The opportunity is not at a company-level but at an industry level,” said Milan Sheth, partner, Ernst & Young, indicating the scale of opportunities that is expected to unfold over the next 10 years. Nearly all top IT firms and BPOs have been anticipating the move and preparing for it by pursuing contracts and acquisitions giving them a footprint the US healthcare provider and insurance segment, estimated at around $ 30 billion.

570,000 non-immigration Visas issued to Indians for 2008

Consider the unemployment rate and the recession during 2008. An Indian newspaper is reporting Indians were issued 5.7 lakh non-immigrant Visas in 2008. A Lakh is 100,000.

According to data available, about 5.7 lakh Indians were issued H1-B and other non-immigrant visas for 2008.

Every American should be outraged at this. That's over half a million jobs that should be going to U.S. workers. Half a million!

India trying to make H-1B workers cheaper by not paying U.S. social security

This is yet another astounding move by India. They are trying to claim H-1B and L-1 guest workers shouldn't pay social security on some nebulous claims they are not in the U.S. permanently.

The [India] government has been pursuing the social security agreement — that will allow Indians working under short-term contracts in the US to secure exemption from contributing to the American social security system.

While Americans Go Without Jobs, India's Offshore Outsourcing Business is Booming

While Americans go without jobs, India's offshore outsourcing business is booming. In Technology companies are aggressively hiring as business prospects improve, we can see just how many American companies are creating jobs....in India.

Accenture will add 8,000 in India this year alone. That’s a 20% increase. Honeywell will also add 1,000 jobs....again, not in the United States, but in India.

Why would idiot Thomas Friedman even get an invite to a state luncheon with Obama?

At a state luncheon, idiot Thomas Friedman, who has proclaimed The World is Flat got a seat at the table.

Why??? Not only is he not an economist, his book has been debunked over and over and over again....by people who are economists!

So, why would just a nonsensical idiot get to be at a state luncheon, while scores of real economists cannot even get their policy recommendations and analysis read by this administration?

Hillary Clinton Claims the United States Doesn't want to Stand up for U.S. workers

Hillary Clinton claims the U.S. doesn't want to protect it's workers. Oh yeah?

Yes we do! That is what the American people voted for!

Hillary selling out America to India:

Allaying fears about the reported anti-outsourcing stance in the backdrop of President Barack Obama's 'Say yes to Buffalo and no to Bangalore' comment made some time back, Clinton, who is on a official visit to India, said America does not want a return to protectionism.
