California Job
Outsourcing
Douglas Chick

Arnold Schwarzenegger, or the “Outsource-engger”
vetoed three separate bills that would have prohibited the state of
California from spending state funds with companies that practice overseas
job outsourcing. California, famous for housing the largest population of
undocumented foreign workers in the United States, has further weakened
their job economy by using state tax money to pay companies to outsource
even more jobs.
There has to be a formula that diagrams just how many jobs can be given to overseas workers before federal tax dollars will
have to subsidize it. Once it catches on, it will undoubtedly reduce our tax base and taxes will have
to be raised on those that still have jobs in America.
Tom
Krazit from NetworkWorldFusion online magazine has quoted Schwarznegger
from his website as stating,
“In
today’s global economy, the best approach to create and enhance job growth
in California is to provide a competitive business environment. In order to
improve their competitiveness in a global market, California businesses
cannot be penalized with punitive policies restricting their ability to make
decisions on how to best perform and provide goods or services for state
government and our consumers,"
I admit that I’m a simple man, and economics is a
little abstract for me, but isn’t sending jobs away to enhance job growth
to a region, a little like selling off all of your livestock at a cheaper
and discounted price, so you can purchase more at a much larger price?
Whatever the outcome, I’m sure all of those that
voted for Schwarznegger, at least their jobs
will be safe…right? And if not, did the people of California really think
it was going to stop when they outsourced their governor?
