“As I travel around America, I hear so many people say how they feel that they are invisible to their Government.”-Hillary Clinton. (Then why do you want to send their jobs overseas)

Nice sentiments, but the truth is a little different. See next story

Hillary claims she is for the American worker, but just like she promised she would never stop taking money from lobbyists. Apparently she will never stop taking money from India companies that want to take our jobs over there, and send their people over here to take even more of our jobs.

Clinton woos the outsourcers feared by U.S. workers

LA Times
Excerpt

BUFFALO, N.Y. To many labor unions and high-tech workers, the Indian giant Tata Consultancy Services is a serious threat — a company that has helped move U.S. jobs to India while sending thousands of foreign workers on temporary visas to the United States…..

The 2003 announcement had clear benefits for the senator and the company: Tata received good press, and Clinton burnished her credentials as a champion for New York’s depressed upstate region.

But less noticed was how the event signaled that Clinton, who portrays herself as a fighter for American workers, had aligned herself with Indian American business leaders and Indian companies feared by the labor movement.

Now, as Clinton runs for president, that signal is echoing loudly.

Clinton is successfully wooing wealthy Indian Americans, many of them business leaders with close ties to their native country and an interest in protecting outsourcing laws and expanding access to worker visas. Her campaign has held three fundraisers in the Indian American community recently, one of which raised close to $3 million, its sponsor told an Indian news organization.

But in Buffalo, the fruits of the Tata deal have been hard to find. The company, which called the arrangement Clinton’s “brainchild,” says “about 10” employees work here. Tata says most of the new employees were hired from around Buffalo. It declines to say whether any of the new jobs are held by foreigners, who make up 90% of Tata’s 10,000-employee workforce in the United States.

So Hillary brings an Indian company to NY promising 200 jobs out of the deal (but how many did they give away?) and it ends up that only 10 jobs are created. I guess those Indian companies are making huge donations to Hillary’s war chest just like Israel, and lobbyists are. Is this woman really a democrat? The story continues

Lou Dobbs, an outsourcing critic, pressed her on the Tata deal in 2004, Clinton responded: “Well, of course I know that they outsource jobs, that they’ve actually brought jobs to Buffalo. They’ve created 10 jobs in Buffalo and have told me and the Buffalo community that they intend to be a source of new jobs in the area, because, you know, outsourcing does work both ways.”

This month, she made a similar case to a conference of Indian workers in Silicon Valley, saying she supported an expansion of visas. “Foreign skilled workers contribute greatly to our U.S. technological development,” she told the group via satellite.

Clinton acknowledged the strains on American workers and called for more job-training programs. But her words seemed to distance her from those who would end outsourcing. Increased U.S. job losses, she said, could cause Americans to “seek more protection against what they view as unfair competition.”

So it’s ok for her to screw over the American workers, as long as she calls for more job training. Of course she never mentions anything about how that job training will come about. Besides what’s the point of training for a job that should be well paying, when an Indian is willing to do the same job for $2 an hour. The people doing the job training might as well be learning to say “Would you like Fries with that” The NAFTA deal was the worst thing Bill Clinton did as President and it needs to end.

A Day in the Life

Woke up, fell out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs, and drank a cup
And looking up, I noticed I was late…(The Beatles)

And the similarities end there to a victim of domestic violence. Here is how the rest of the day went.

Noticing she was late, she woke him up so he could take a shower. She knew she had about ten minutes before preparing his breakfast in order to have it on the table and to make sure it was still hot when he was finished. He had the same thing every morning; two eggs over easy – don’t break the yolks, cream of wheat – not instant and no lumps, toast light brown with grape jelly and butter, three pieces of bacon, orange juice and coffee. She took her coffee into the living room and put it down on the end table. She lay down on the couch on her stomach and dozed off.
