Despite President Obama's pledge to retain more hi-tech jobs in the U.S., a federal agency run by a hand-picked Obama appointee has launched a $22 million program to train workers, including 3,000 specialists in IT and related functions, in South Asia.Jesus Motherfucking God on Rollerblades, we are spending our fucking tax dollars to give free training to the very people who are taking our fucking jobs??? We are going to train them in Java EE and English so they can do a better job slashing the throats of our own IT people?
What the fuck is wrong with this goddamned government?
The scumbag traitor who is throwing our tax dollars into training Sri Lankans to take our goddamn jobs is an asshole named Rajiv Shah. This backstabbing little fuck is the director of USAID, the agency for international development. "International development", for this human piece of shit is training people on the far side of the word to take high-tech jobs from American IT people.
Congress should zero out USAID's budget, now. And as for Director Shah, maybe he needs to find a new job. Maybe in Sri Lanka.

Shit. That sucks.
ReplyDeleteObama has not a clue how to get jobs going. Neither does the repukes.
ReplyDeleteMoney spent for the most part could have been used to wipe our ass for all the good it's done.
If I were King, I would have re-started the CCCs. Things would be getting done,people would spend and it would stimulate the economy. They tell me every dollar spent on unemployment generates like a 1.47 back. My way would generate much more than that.
More than sucks.. Train them to take our jobs?
ReplyDeleteIf I wanted Java training, or foreign language training you can bet your bottom dollar I'd be turned down in a picosecond. Why because they would have to pay me real money with those skills and not the Asian labor market rates.
Who the hell dreamed up this scheme?
Let me guess, someone that needs cheap
programming labor and yet another remote help desk.
Eck!
There's got to be some way to make exporting jobs so unbelievably taxed that jobs would spring up all over this country overnight. Make it ruinously expensive in taxes to even explore the possibility of exporting jobs.
ReplyDeleteOf course, such a bill would get about two votes, even if it had a cool name, like Grayson tends to give his bills, and the whole vote was broadcast live on every channel.
And they've been doing it since the 80's when Rayguns figured that it was the way to break the back of the unions (and screw up the good work that the liberals at AID had been doing previously), and render more unto Caesar than American workers were ever going to (at that point in time anyway).
ReplyDeleteIt never stops.
No matter what "chosen" President is in office.
To stop this we have to get rid of the "choosers" and actually field non-con-artist candidates.
And they have plenty of clues as to how to revive the economy and create real jobs - the WPA springs to mind as a start as it's been done and it worked - high taxes on all foreign enterprises will work wonders too.
By now you have to realize that they don't want it to be revived for Americans (who are scheduled for destitution for the next 20-some years at least as their money has been invested in other countries), and not going to.

P.S. Thanks for highlighting this ongoing madness.
