Why do we outsource to nations like India, Pakistan, Mexico and a host of other 3rd world countries that are mostly filled with no indoor plumbing then?

It's not like they actually know how something works because they didn't create anything!

Look what happened to England after they outsourced to the colonies.....then tried to tax them to reduce competition with home industries.

I just watched a cruz handler explain that so far while trump may over all have a considerably higher percentage of the votes than cruz, everyone that did not vote for trump was actually a vote against trump rather than for someone else. Yet all the votes for cruz were votes for cruz, and the votes for someone other than cruz were not votes against cruz. bizzaro. I wonder if they believe this ****.

I think Cruz pushed too late, and his campaign had some bone head moves. The cap with Carson was dumb.

And I'm not the only one who thinks he's ineligible......if you take Jesus out Cruz is closest to me of what's left but I won't vote for him.

You are naming nations that are having or have had tremendous economic and manufacturing booms and, as a result, are making considerable rises from the 3rd world.

I'm not sure those are the best examples to prove your point but rather lend themselves to the statement of mine you quoted.

Freaking call centers are not manufacturing booms. Now, making more than 200 US dollars a week is a massive tremendous boom to them. They'd still be washing pots and pans in the river...oh wait, they still do. Nevermind.

Hold on a minute don't go knocking India out of the water. They are very much a developing nation and a strong American ally.

The push to outsource to them came from a non-partisan effort to build an ally in the east to rival China. Newt Gengrich spearheaded the plan which he to the Clinton administration. The rational was that China was already robust with American manufacturing technology and if they had advanced tech and understood tech at a very high level they would have enough infrastructure in place to wage a considerable war effort against us.

So it came to pass that India and Pakistan would be the beneficiary of tech outsourcing. Pakistan; however proved to be a less than faithful ally so the US lost a bit of money working with them which fueled even more hatred for the Pakis over in India. It lead the the Indian government pretty much pledging alliegence to the United States with the promise of America helping lift India and its people out of the muck and mire.

The US gave some support building infrastructure for military prescence to India. The rational being that it takes months to produce a ship here in the US and the navigate it over to the Far East Pacific. India now has manufacturing capacity to churn out a viable warship in a matter of two weeks in a war scenario plus they have the population to go toe to toe with the Chinese. They're basically flatout our best WWIII ally.

Grant it, a lot of places in India are quite impoverished but it is getting better. There are people who are starting to spread the wealth and make knowledge from internet advancements which is improving the overall quality of life in the country.

The amount of stupidity in THAT decision is immense.

I liked newt. He's the reason I volunteered for the Nussle campaign. Newt was a firebrand at the time that looks pretty vanilla in today's politics. The context of the time is always important.

Hell it really doesn't matter whether or not you like the guy what matters is the backstory and what the actual reality is. You can dismiss it, call it stupid, but the Truth still is the Truth.

I'm not promoting Newt or even the Clinton's I'm just delivering the facts from what I've heard here in the States and from other folks across the pond in India. The fact remains that both sides saw a necessity, it was a non-partisan issue and it got taken care of in the best possible manner that provided benefit to both our nations.

Newt was pretty effective. Like him or not he had a plan and executed it.

+1 to that teedubbya.

The contract with America was a great success, even Clinton saw its merits (after ****** Morris's persuasion).
