Union labor under attack
Ya, let's jack up the price of a Cavalier from $14000 to $28000 by producing everything here in America. That's a good idea because that's what would happen if nothing was outsourced.

A few notes to cellular customers
I've got a very similar plan. 750 minutes, unlimited off-peak (starting at 8pm), unlimited PCS Vision, 100 text messages and I get a discount through USAA (even though they no longer carry it) and I pay $58.30/month after taxes and fees.

A few notes to cellular customers
Yo Josh. I'm looking to add my girlfriend onto my plan. Would now be a good time to do that, or not? She is currently with Verizon. Oh, and do you have the ability to change my caller ID from my dad's name to my name? When I call people it shows up as his name, not mine on their phones.

Imports in the GM parking lot
maybe his wife wanted it and she works at honda and his GM car was in the shop. Thus he had to take her car to work. Don't judge people unless you know the whole story ;)

Well spoken Carbiz -- I won't repeat what you said about standards. I agree with you about China and India, but I figure they are at least 50 years behind us. Business is a complex machine that you can't pretend to understand by reading articles in the media. You must study it for years and live it / work it as well to truely understand how it works. That's why you will rarely find an economist that is against free trade and outsourcing. Can you back up your statements with facts. One can argue that when outsourcing hit it's peak I would reckon that the unemployment rate was at the lowest. What were the unemployment rates in the 30's when everything was kept in America? http://data.bls.gov/PDQ/servlet/SurveyOutp...ame=LN_cpsbref3 (past 10 years) http://data.bls.gov/PDQ/servlet/SurveyOutputServlet (since 1948) The time that unemployment was highest in the near future was when there was a lot of government regulation and programs. It was Regean that saved us from that recession with his trickle down programs and less business regulations. See, when businesses make more money they can grow and expand. When they grow and expand they MUST hire new people. If you prevent businesses from making money they MUST cut costs (ie fire people). I never understood why people think that businesses making money is a bad thing. You can make individual senarios all day long, but looking on a national level these things are good for the economy: lower taxes, free trade, less regulations, outsourcing (in all forms).

Oh man, I wish I didn't read this thread cause I love that song and didn't know who sang it. Bah! I wouldn't say they are conservative. I would say they are more "old school;" as in thinking that the country should be ran as it was intended in 1787 when they wrote the constitution.

here is the concept that people against outsourcing don't understand. The jobs that are going overseas for the most part are ones that are labor/time intensive. IE programming code, assembling little toys / electronics / etc. These are jobs that no one wants to do and get paid $6/hour to do. Because of outsourcing products are less expensive and people can spend their money on other things like service based products. They can now afford to pay someone $50/week to manage their lawn or $150/month to get a pedicure, etc. Essentially what outsourcing is doing is turning manual labor jobs into service based jobs. Here is a sample example of how it works. Ted has $100 of spare money a month. Without outsourcing he pays $80 for a toaster, and $20 for toothpaste. With outsourcing he pays $20 for a toaster, and $5 for toothpaste. Now he has $75 to spend other things he enjoys like getting his eyebrows waxed. Anyone that is against outsourcing is just too near sited to see the advantages.
