“Outsourcing is a growing phenomenon, but it's something that we should realize is probably a plus for the economy in the long run.”

February 11, 2004 - When those 2.8 million manufacturing jobs went to China, Mexico, or some where else it was a good thing. When the technical and professional positions that we supposed would replace them flew away too it was even better. When the President’s guest worker program gets underway replacing the Americans who have found a McJob flipping burgers; manning the door at Wal-Mart; or changing sheets at the Red Roof Inn the economy will be in even better shape. We won’t have to worry about inflation then. Without jobs greedy American workers won’t be able to demand goods and run up the price. Employers will be spared the burden of providing health insurance and that will drive the cost of health care down. Profits will soar and so will stocks. That will run up the value of your 201K until it is almost a 401K again.

You see, when greedy American workers get jobs they expect benefits; they expect a living wage; they expect to be able to have quality health care, a car that works, and a decent place to live. How can we expect to compete in a modern economy with expectations like that? We just have to recognize that we are in a Global Economy and will have to moderate unreasonable expectations of a decent life for laborers if we are going to see share prices continue to rise.

But it is an election year and you are sure to see the Democrats pandering to those greedy parasites who think that they are entitled to a job just because they were born here. It will be class warfare all over again. They have been doing that every four years since they ruined a perfectly good economy when they took over from President Hoover. They are always ready to ruin a good thing. It is the politics of envy and greed that they trot out every four years trying to steal the silver spoon right out of our mouths. Well. My Great- Grandfather worked hard for my money and I’m entitled to keep it.

Just listen to them whine because I can get people in Bangalore and Bangkok who will work for one-tenth what I have to pay those greedy bastards in Bangor or Baltimore. They just don’t understand that we are in a Global Economy and we just have to compete to keep the bottom line growing. If I can hire someone to slap together sneakers for fifty cents an hour its good for America. That is just good business and as Calvin Coolidge said. “The business of America is Business.” All the rest of that is just socialism.

We finally have a President who understands what is important to the economy, who has the wisdom to listen to people like Gregory Mankiw, and who won’t listen to those Cassandra wails about a jobless recovery. So what if a few million greedy people lose their jobs. It serves them right. They are lucky that we let them live in America. They can always wash windshields at the stop lights.
