Flow of imports drags down economic growth
Thursday, August 26, 2010
“A widening U.S. trade deficit has become a substantial drag on economic growth as the country’s exports struggle to keep pace with the swelling sums that Americans are again spending on imported goods.

“The rise in the trade deficit, including an abrupt 16 percent spike in June, is a chief reason economists are downgrading estimates for recent U.S. economic growth.

“Officials at Cummins Inc., the Indiana-based engine and power-system maker, say business is booming in such places as China and India, but the new orders for its equipment are largely being met at the firm’s factories outside the United States.

“Almost everything we sell in China is made in China, and those factories are at capacity right now,” spokesman Mark Land said. “The strength in those markets helps us overall, but our manufacturing capacity creates a limited need to export.”

Where are the jobs? For many companies, overseas
Tue Dec 28, 2010
“Corporate profits are up. Stock prices are up. So why isn’t anyone hiring?

“Actually, many American companies are — just maybe not in your town. They’re hiring overseas, where sales are surging and the pipeline of orders is fat.

“More than half of the 15,000 people that Caterpillar Inc. has hired this year were outside the U.S. UPS is also hiring at a faster clip overseas. For both companies, sales in international markets are growing at least twice as fast as domestically.

“The trend helps explain why unemployment remains high in the United States, edging up to 9.8 percent last month, even though companies are performing well: All but 4 percent of the top 500 U.S. corporations reported profits this year, and the stock market is close to its highest point since the 2008 financial meltdown.

“But the jobs are going elsewhere. The Economic Policy Institute, a Washington think tank, says American companies have created 1.4 million jobs overseas this year, compared with less than 1 million in the U.S. The additional 1.4 million jobs would have lowered the U.S. unemployment rate to 8.9 percent, says Robert Scott, the institute’s senior international economist.

“There’s a huge difference between what is good for American companies versus what is good for the American economy,” says Scott.”

Business is booming all over the world, except the USA. Jobs are being created, but not in the USA.

Even U.S. companies created more jobs outside the USA than at home.

The Democrats have been in total control for two years – why is this still happening?

They can’t blame Bush anymore (and certainly not Reagan….).

Answer by Dave87gn
corporations are hiring overseas because those countries have no health or safety standards, and no minimum wage requirements

basically its a race to the bottom

Internet Censorship: Major Truth-Providing Websites Blocked By Asia Netcom To New Zealand Users Clare Swinney www.infonews.co.nz Sunday, February 7th, 2010 Has Chinese-style internet censorship arrived in New Zealand this year? The question is posed because two major news websites, Infowars.com and Prisonplanet.com, both of which are run by documentary maker and radio show host Alex Jones, who is renowned for exposing the truths the mainstream media attempts to conceal, were found to be have been selectively blocked on Friday evening and were still unavailable at the time of writing. Thankfully, this draconian measure does not effect all internet users in New Zealand however. It appears to be confined to those whose internet server providers, (ISPs), use Asia Netcom for their international internet traffic. Telstraclear, Vodafone and Worldxchange Communications users are not effected, while Woosh, Orcon, Slingshot, Telecom and Ihug users are. An avid fan of Infowars.com and a 9/11 truth activist, Jeff Mitchell, reported on Saturday that he contacted his ISP, Orcon, to establish what was causing the block, and was advised by a computer technician who did a traceroute, that the break in traffic to the two websites was found to be occurring at Asia Netcoms router in Sydney. This technician also advised that as Telstraclear used a different route, their customers were still able to access the two sites. There have been calls for the Internet to be censored and controlled and …
