Bye-bye jobs...

The NYT reports that Colin Powell has flown to India to assure the good folks there that the Bush administration will do nothing to halt the flow of high-tech American jobs to that country.

This comes not long after Bush's chief economic advisor, Greg Mankiw, wrote a report favoring massive outsourcing of this nation's jobs. Bush signed off on that report. Of course, the companies responsible for much of the outsourcing give millions of dollars to the Republicans.

Meanwhile, here at home, millions of people are out of work, only low-wage jobs are available, many folks are paying 80% of their income just to keep a roof overhead, and few can afford the average European's standard of living.
