Nice....With Ohio's high unemployment numbers....this is just what we need.

National City can't say this is due to the lack of skills here. I know of a few people that have applied there and weren't hired.

[catgirl]

1. Which candidate has a close relationship with India (outsourcing)?

Hint: There are 7 letters in first and last name.

[OhioChick]

2. I know who the hell that is.....

This just pisses me off. I was alarmed to read it. There are so many unemployed here.....Cleveland is becoming a damn ghost town. This shit has to stop. I intend on sending this to everyone I know. Many do their banking with National City and will pull their money out and put it elsewhere. I'm sure they don't want their private banking information in India.

[KamaAina]

35. The one who won the Ohio primary?

the phrase "people voting against their economic interest" suddenly snaps to mind.

[Kukesa]

3. National City had its mortgage banking headquarters

in Dayton, where I live. Those offices are now empty and the people are unemployed.

Sucks.

[babylonsister]

4. Makes less than no sense to me. An American who needs a

job couldn't do this?

[OhioChick]

5. They're Not Cheap Enough, Apparently.

:mad:

[EnviroBat]

13. They are asking for a liveable wage.

That's waaaay too much to ask for when the Hindi's will do it for penny's on the dollar.

6. HRC and Bill are huge supporters of India Business and Outsourcing!

And Ohio went for Hillary - someone should have told them about this:

India and The Gap Exlpoit Child Slave Labor

(snip)

Hillary loves outsourcing our jobs AND all of the other good stuff that NAFTA “free-trade” deals allow: like Indian child slave labor that keeps a few wealthy GAP executives in Prada pantsuits while exploiting poor children from other lands. When you are an insulated elitist, it doesn’t matter anymore where you live or what nationality you are -– exploitation and slavery are just one elitist lobbyist phone call away. There’s a “gap” alright between certain insulated candidates, America’s working class, and child slave labor that global elites of all stripes just don’t seem to care about.


Bill and Hillary are BFF to wealthy, super outsourcing fundraisers from India who run in fast circles of elites who seek to profit by replacing our jobs with Indian citizens at any human cost. Not only is presidential candidate Hillary Clinton beholden to corporate interests at the expense of working class Americans (like people not living off of stock dividends) as she accepts corporate gifts, financial rewards and favors in exchange for her commitment to selling our jobs to foreign elites from India, but HRC is the number ONE candidate that Indian lobbyists rely on for support in their elitist race to the bottom.


Hillary’s support for UN-FAIR trade agreements that promote corporate "guest worker" programs used to replace American white-collar workers with imported cheap, foreign labor has made her the darling among Indian elites who have everything to gain by outsourcing.

According to this Washington Post article "A Quiet Rainmaker",

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/06/AR2007070602091.html

Hillary and Bill are tied to Indian “super fundraisers” who apparently are just not that into us – not just here, but in other countries like India where greedy elitists are creating a global ruling caste with a gap between the rich and poor so wide as to make the Plantation Society Days of yore look like Christmas.

India and The Gap Exlpoit Child Slave Labor

(snip)

Hillary clearly does not belong in the White House. The insulated Clintons have reaped significant financial rewards from their gluttonous relationship with the Indian community, both in their personal finances, all the free curry that clogged Bill’s ticker and almost sent him to an early grave, and Hillary’s campaign fundraising.

Hillary Clinton, who is the co-chair of the Senate India Caucus has drawn criticism from anti-offshoring groups for her vocal support of Indian business and unwillingness to protect American jobs. She is no friend of the American people – or of the Indian slave labor children who her wealthy global corporatist supporters rely on to widen the gap between rich and poor through disastrous outsourcing practices.

7. People were too busy believing Hillary's lies about Obama & NAFTA

:eyes:

[OhioChick]

8. Funny thing is...

I travel in many circles and every Dem that I know voted for Obama. Now the repubs (that I know) on the other hand voted for HRC.....figuring that McCain would easily beat her.

[berni_mccoy]

9. OH got PUNKED by Hillary. She probably is connected to National City's board and approved this move

[OhioChick]

10. Nothing would surprise me, anymore. n/t

[CubicleGuy]

11. Patriotic Americans don't want those jobs!

They know that their big, American wages would contribute to making the company completely unable to compete in the global marketplace, and the economy would go to heck as a result. Only Commie sympathizers who want to see the downfall of capitalism would take those jobs, donchaknow?

[EnviroBat]

12. These Motherf*&$kers are holding my mortgage.

God DAMN them for doing this to the people of Cleveland. I'm so fucking pissed right now. National City you fucking sons-of-bitches! May you rot in hell!

[Dr.Phool]

16. You got a mortgage from them?

A little over 5 years ago when Cleveland City Council passed laws against predatory lenders (which were owned by the big guys, NCB included) they quit writing ALL mortgages in Cleveland. I had a buyer for my house, and the deal fell through. I went to my bank, National City to take out a 2nd mortgage to buy my house in Florida. Even with sterling credit, the wouldn't even give me an application!

Cleveland caved in, but my buyer was spooked. It took me 4 more years to sell that house.

[OhioChick]

17. Luckily you eventually sold that house.

The streets are lined with "For Sale" signs with no buyers in sight. Bad times her in OH.

[Dr.Phool]

18. The guy who bought it 18 months ago to flip still can't sell it.

I went through it last summer when I was up there. He did a real nice job on it. Desirable location in West Park. No buyers.

[OhioChick]

20. I'm familiar with West Park. Nice area.

I have a friend that has had his home for sale for about 3 years now and it isn't even looked at. This despite having dropped the price by thousands of dollars every few months.

[EnviroBat]

28. Actually, it wasn' that bad dealing with them, but then again

I'm not in the Cleveland area, (Originally from there through). I got an FHA loan through NCB with "fair/good" credit. I took a loan for a lot less than I was approved for. Christ I hate this! I'm sick of assholes firing people in this country so then can save a fucking dime! I want to punch something right now.

14. Only Gov. hiring is supposedly propping the economy up. Now what?

[spinbaby]

15. National City is in serious trouble

Very soon they'll either be bought out or go under. As evil as the outsourcing is, it probably doesn't matter because those jobs won't be there anyway.

[Dr.Phool]

19. You should have seen some of the comments last night.

On the Plain Dealers website. It's gotta be populated by freepers. They seemed to think this was a good thing.

[OhioChick]

21. Yeah....Until they get burned by it. n/t

[madrchsod]

22. they`ll wonder why there bank accounts are drained

by someone lifting info and selling it to the highest bidder

[OhioChick]

23. You Got It. n/t

[darue]

29. no - those posters were probably all fakes

no doubt the company hired a crisis management firm to come in and astro-turf all the local forums they could find.

maybe some of the same folks named here:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=102&topic_id=3264587&mesg_id=3264587

[OhioChick]

30. I wouldn't be surprised. n/t

[L0oniX]

24. We need to tax the fuck out of companys that out source workers.

[williesgirl]

25. Anyone with a Nat'l City acct, regardless of type other than mortgage, should cancel it immediately.

Show these fuckers what we do when they take Americans' jobs away. rec'd

[Vinca]

26. Last weekend there was a guy on the CNN money show who offered

solutions for workers whose jobs have been outsourced. You'll never guess what his first bit of advice was. Move to where the job went. I swear that's what he said and he was serious. So, if you've always wanted a job that pays a dollar a day, pack your jammies and move to China.

[OhioChick]

27. What an idiot.

I guess soon we'll all be packing up and moving to India and China.

[liberal N proud]

32. And downtown Cleveland becomes more ghostly

Last time I was downtown Cleveland I thought I had stepped into an episode of Twilight Zone. There were no people.

[ohio2007]

34. How about that Quicken Loans company buying the naming rights to that arena

proof Cleveland is cursed......
Quicken Loans moves into Cleveland with much fanfare.....
and the loan buisness crashes the boards harder then Labron James

[ohio2007]

33. I called FedEx today to check on a package....the guy I talked to sounded like he was from

well,

I'm sure judging by that accent of his he wasn't from Indianapolis, Indiana ;)

[OhioChick]

36. I Called Allstate Today...

and the guy I talked to wasn't from Indianapolis, Indiana either. ;-)

[Johnny Harpo]

37. Chase Is Also Shipping Jobs To India..

like poop a goose. Help Desks, Call Centers, Human Resources, Benefits Admin, as well as Info Technology. A lot of what they are not sending away is now being done by 'imported' H1B's.

[OhioChick]

38. I Heard That This Past Week, as Well.

I won't be a customer of theirs any longer. I don't need all of my personal information God knows where.

[HughBeaumont]

39. Bitch-ass National City.

The rigid suit-and-tie facade example of everything wrong with corporate American banking today. Millions and millions in crap scratch-and-dent loans. Greedbag CEOs with golden parachutes. Lookalike workers living in fear of their jobs. Layoffs. Job Offshoring.

Big Green can go fuck themselves and the short-term-thinking horse they rode in on.

As soon as I read this in the Blame Dealer I knew this would make it to DU. And don't be surprised at the PD boards - since PD is a rag for the irresponsible right (and, sorry to say, that odious Cavuto-esque douche Kevin O'Brien being groomed as it's Editorial head), it's only natural they're loaded with freepturds on every forum.
