    $22 Million Taxpayer-funded 'Jobs for Sri Lanka' Program

    OUTRAGE OF THE DAY: $22 Million Of Your Tax Money Goes To Train IT Workers In Sri Lanka

    On the plus side, America is training impoverished Sri Lankans in a major growth sector. USAID will spend $22 million for local training, including Enterprise Java courses for 3,000 Sri Lankans.

    Unfortunately, this Obama-originated program cuts right into White House pledges to keep IT jobs in America.

    Information Week:

    As recently as Monday, Obama, speaking at a Democratic fundraiser in Atlanta, boasted about his efforts to reduce offshoring. The President said he's implemented "a plan that’s focused on making our middle class more secure and our country more competitive in the long run -- so that the jobs and industries of the future aren’t all going to China and India, but are being created right here in the United States of America."

    At what point does endemic US unemployment lead to sour grapes on the aid front?

    Yee-Haw! More debt based money coming right up! Hey, what the heck, we might have to pay for it with inflation and higher taxes, but darn, just think about being able to call Sri Lanka on the cheap, to get help troubleshooting your internet service!

    Lets see, we will be able to sell them IT technology and software from one our corporate companies that may be headquartered here, with software developed in India, and components made in China with the profits from such sales going to Wall Street, and the American public paying the bill for all of it. What a deal. Then the salesmen and support personel can spend their monies having their lawn mowed, their haircut, their yacht hull cleaned,.........all with devalued inflated imperialistic dollars.

    Paid for by the citizens of Rome!

    The End Game of the NWO/Global Government is to force Americans (and citizens of other first world nations) to accept lower wages or STARVE! In 50 years or so they think a world balance will be reached and no one will be able to attract jobs for lower wages because by then there will only be the few RICH ELITES IN CONTROL AND THE MASSES OF POOR WHO'LL HAVE TO TAKE WHATEVER THEY CAN GET!
