Bush: Exporting jobs overseas will enrich the U.S. Economy...
... "eventually," he said.
http://www.intl-news.com/jdb/2004/jobsoverseas0210.htm

Bush: Tax cuts enrich the economy.
Bush: Taking jobs enriches the economy.

Bush is like the salesman that gives away your company's product because he's too lazy (or frightened) to actually demand its value.

Basic economics: produce a product with intrinsic value and then sell above cost.

It's bad enough that "free" trade has created a service-oriented economy, but now Bush is just letting the service bleed away to other countries. I'm all for competitive advantage, but not at the cost of a) using slave-wage labour, or b) reducing product quality.

The White House has become a gaffe. Between Bush's Get-Into-The-US for free card (Immigrant Worker's Plan) and this manuever, Bush isn't even trying to appeal to any working public constituency. I suppose that's why he needs $200,000,000 to be re-elected.

I'm here on my own now, you could not convince me
Nothing you could ever say, could ever change a thing
And I have already, chosen to succeed
You push me down one more time, but I don't need you to breathe

1. Yes, that's why he needs 200,000,000 to get elected.
Well, at least he'll spend it here.

Can you outsource an election to India?
