Not To Be Forgotten: Hillary Has An Outsourcing Problem...

Hillary's Biggest Challenge Isn't Just Bill's Outsourcing Record, It's HERS

from the link :


Days after Republicans feasted on her claim that corporations don't create jobs, Hillary Clinton tried to "be absolutely clear about what I've been saying for a couple of decades. Our economy grows when businesses and entrepreneurs create good-paying jobs here in America, not when we hand out tax breaks for corporations that outsource jobs or stash their profits overseas."

How odd that she's opposing outsourcing when it most likely was her husband's most significant undertaking while POTUS -- along with participating in the deregulation of Wall Street.

Clinton went on to outsource jobs to China, says Faux. "Clinton and his Republican successor, George Bush II, then used the NAFTA template to design the World Trade Organization, more than a dozen bilateral trade treaties, and the deal that opened the American market to China -- which alone has cost the U.S. another net 2.7 million jobs. The result has been 20 years of relentless outsourcing of jobs and technology."

In 2002, Clinton helped Tata land an agreement to open an office in Buffalo and to create at least 100 jobs in the depressed community. But five years later Tata employed just 10 workers there. Tata is one of the largest users of the temporary worker visas that have allowed U.S. technology companies to fill jobs with high-skilled lower-paid Indian workers.

insanity. And I straight-up never knew THIS:

Given Bill Clinton's track record, it's not surprising that in 2012 when President Obama took on Mitt Romney's outsourcing record as head of Bain Capital Clinton told Obama to "back off Bain," praising Romney's "sterling business career"

Didn't Hillary just hold a Campaign Fundraiser with Bain Capital?
