| that article speaks nothing to the subject of job creation and outsourcing. flex-time and whatnot are completely different topics. i've followed his bilateral trade deals with china and india - he has given companies incentives to outsource.
now, i believe that outsourcing is fine so long as it happens naturally. but companies should never be given incentives to send jobs overseas. and when he tried direct intervention (the steel tariffs), he only ended up costing people more jobs, as well as some $2 billion in surcharges passed on to the consumer.
kerry's idea to offer companies tax incentives to set up shop here just makes sense. why hasn't bush bothered to offer such a proposal in his years in office? |
