What do you think about so many jobs being moved to other countries? Which political party do you think will be the best at dealing with this situation?

to be losing jobs to other countries. Especially when we need them here in the states. I think it ultimately comes down to corporate greed and the desire to make a profit so that companies can pay their shareholders. I guess that would be a republican attitude.
But in any case, i think the dems are the ones to at least try do it, but i dont know how they will stop those companies from leaving.

I think the outsourcing argument is overblown. It is a natural process to see jobs shift to lower-cost markets. This is occurring and the trend will continue. What we need to is determine what the next knowledge worker job and invest resources to achieve a position for the US in this new industry.

if the government didnt give large coporations tax benifits when offshoring jobs then they wouldnt do it. first they pay the people in those countries pennies then they get tax relief from the govenment when sending the good back over to the us to sell to us at high prices. it takes only a few dollars to make a pair of nike shoes in china but then we buy them for 60, 70, or 100 dollars unbelievable.

I dont't think the biggest issue here is the outsourcing. Out-sourcing has been going on for a long time and it can work when a nation has new fields and careers to replace the lost jobs. The last time this happened we replaced the lost jobs with the creation of high tech jobs. However we have no new field to replace the new lost jobs b/c our education system is not producing highly educated people to produce them. The answer to the problem runs deeper than just penalizing companies for sending jobs over seas.

Out-sourcing has been happening for a long time. I don't it necesarily comes down to a specific party. John Kerry's wife Heinz, owns a huge corporation that outsources jobs to Mexico, Canada, and Europe. Why doesn't he do something about that?

Outsourcing is a dead issue that was never a concern and never will be.

Even Kerry has stopped talking about it, hoping people will forget that he declared it such a big problem when it was nothing.

Just to be sure, roll the facts:
1. Government statisticians reckon that outsourced jobs are responsible for well under 1% of those signed up as unemployed.

2. We have economically, provably resulted in a net gain of jobs here when measuring countries outsourcing here to our outsourcing to other countries:

Remember this is from a magazine that endorsed Clinton over Dole. So it can't be smeared as right-wing...

3. The obvious job recovery is in full swing. The last few months have seen a tremendous amount of jobs created after a natural downturn. Bush's tax cuts certainly helped propel it.

Outsourcing is not a concern...at all. The Democrat Party always need a bogeyman when out of power.
In 1984 it was the big bad Japanese taking over all our companies.
In 1988 it was robots and machines displacing American workers.
In 1992 it was Mexico stealing all our jobs.
In 1996 Clinton's numbers were good, so no bogeyman.
In 2000 After 8 years of Democrat rule, a bogeyman would probably make Gore look bad, so none here either.
In 2004, a Republican (Bush) in office so bogeyman is China and India stealing all our jobs.

But now that won't work, they'll have to find a new villain, my guess is the Saudis.
Who will fall for this again? I think regular Americans are smart enough not to keep falling for the same fearmongering BS.

There would be no substantive difference whatsoever, regardless of whether Gore was elected or not.

The only visible difference would be that GWB would repeat twice in a row that "shipping jobs to other Countries is a good thing!"

Whereas Gore would just lie through his teeth and do nothing but provide some small tax benny's for companies that might have been recognized by the government as not leaving the U.S. for Asia or wherever.
