3-6-2004 <a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/lou.dobbs.tonight/">'Exporting America'</a>

Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Connecticut, fights to keep jobs in America. He joins Lou to talk about his amendment -- just recently adopted by the Senate -- that would "prohibit taxpayer dollars from being used to outsource or take offshore work formerly done in the United States."

Here is a list of companies we've confirmed are "Exporting America." These are U.S. companies either sending American jobs overseas, or choosing to employ cheap overseas labor, instead of American workers:

People are WAY to bent up over outsourcing. This topic always seems to rear its ugly head each natural recession the US go through. Hell, people b1tched and moaned about this about this with Japan, then Taiwan, then Korea, and now China and India. I say within the next 4 years, this topic will largely be forgotten.

Being protectionist/isolationist has always failed and always will. Granted, we do need to do something about equalizing standards/work conditions.... NOT simply look at preventing "American" jobs going overseas.

 

[AEB]

Companies like to outsource because the government keeps telling them how to run their busniesses. Safety standards, healtcare regulations, insurance costs, and unions are just a couple of reasons, besides salary, that americans are too expensive to hire. America is turning into a service country like it or not.

 

[CADsortaGUY]

Damn- after that list I can't buy anything from anywhere because they either outsource work themselves or sell products that are from companies that outsource. Guess we should all bury our head in the ground.

You've pretty much listed every major U.S. corporation right there..

Instead of crying foul over outsourcing, perhaps it would be far more constructive for you to consider "why" companies are outsourcing to begin with?

 

[alchemize]

Here, this list makes it easier.

Yes, we have here all over the Forum, except for CAD & Co, those posts will distract you as they are designed to do.

It's long past time to close down the floddgates that they are recieving American Tax payer dollars and sending that money overseas. Also put in place measures that make it so they must decide whether they stay in America and truly be an American Company or move to the Foriegn Operation as theor base. That list of Americans Companies would shrink.

Those that are left great. Thos are gone will have Real Americans Companies spring up and Americans will fill the Market needs here again.

I dare anyone say Americans can't do it. That will bring the true Treason and Unpatrioticness of these people out.

I wonder if that's going to be in Bush's next campaign ad?

Bush: (choral from The Passion plays in the background) American businesses need working standards that are competitive throughout the world . . . countries like Indonesia, Pakistan, India, China, and North Korea (outsourced from China) have advantages in low standards of living . . . no universal education, minimal work safety standards, often nonexistent health benefits, and union organizers might be shot on sight. These countries firmly embrace the notion that surface water and the air were designed for unregulated dumping of waste.

The future purchasing power of American CEOs depends on what we do today. During my next term, I will vigorously fight for the repeal of environmental, work, and general safety regulations . . . not to mention rarely enforce those that I cannot strike down. In addition, I will make government and private sector employment unambiguously hostile to organized labor while making wholesale changes in labor law to reduce overtime and any other benefit that might shift wealth from the few to the many.

I was just looking for a thread containing Accenture when I came across this one.

dmcowen674, companies have no choice but to outsource to other countries to stay competitive to be able to stay alive. America is too expensive. Thats a fact. Because specific industries like IT are being outsourced elsewhere, you should take a look and analyse instead what is America's role in the future.

Most US Companies are still based in the U.S, so this is still a good thing. Americans have to focus on architecting products instead of producing it. Or maybe focus towards high-end manufacturing like BioTechnology or other industries like entertainment, for which US is still the leader in the world. US is after all turning into an intelligent and knowledge based economy.

JUst my 2 cents...

That list is pretty dumb. Almost any large company is going to have some employees overseas.

Anyways, we should let things like IT be outsourced. It's not important to the nation. Let it go and focus on something that requires American's innovation, more technical industries, etc.

"Almost any large company is going to have some employees overseas."

Almost any large American company is going to have some employees actually in America.

Fixed your quote for you.

Funny how Heinz was left off that list. Coincidence? Innocent oversight? Or......?

Are they any large corporations that have packed up their bags and left?

The problem is not so much outsourcing itself but the reasons behind it.

Having said that there are some things that are cheaper not to outsource at all or outright safer or required to be safer.

Tax dollars should never ever go to outsourcing. Not a penny. What a private company does with its own money is not your nor my business.

Over regulation is a major cause of outsourcing.

Regulations should be scraped alltogeather. They are a joke anyway. You think a company like EXXON gives a flying whoop if it has to pay $50,000 cause of some violation of a regulation it got caught on regarding worker safety?

You don't want regulations. People think regulations equal safety. Instead its a joke.

What you want is accountability. What you need is individuals and groups being held accountable for their actions. If a piece of equipment fails due to poor manufacturing/materials and people die cause of it, how do you think a corporation is going to act if the court decides that the board of directors whom approve the purchase of that part should spend the next 25 years in prison and have to pay out 20 million for each person that was killed?

Somehow I think the next board of directors might think twice about buying cheap equipment from a cheap 3rd world no name company instead of top of the line expansive equipment that ensures worker safety.

Regulations and accountability is thought to be the same, but it is not and none of the major players in politics is going to change that. Not today and not tomorrow.

End of story.

Not yet, no one has the balls to stand up to them yet and sadly probably never will.

Who needs the U.S. anyway? Shrugs
