Re:I. Can’t. Take. It. Anymore!
He seems oblivious to the truth, or at the very least believes we are all so stupid we’ll believe anything he says.
We allow a set amount of visas (H-1B) each year for jobs, by Feburary those quotas are already met for the entire year but Bush recently decided to double the visas, allowing companies to import even more cheap labor. And he’s again reviewing the policy claiming 200,000 a year, isn’t nearly enough. Yes that’s right, 200,000 people in only 2 months. Each one with a guarenteed job upon arrival for the H-1B visa, yet only 10,000 jobs were created in Janurary.
Why pay an American programmer 80k a year when you can import an Indian for 35k?
I have nothing against giving jobs to people on visas currently living in the states, but to import them reduces them to nothing more than just another foreign resource, and reminds me of something else, but I wont go there.
But thats Capitalism unfortunatly, but the Government could simply cancel the program or at the very least knock it back to what it was in 1996: 65,000 a year.
Bush has also been incredibly stupid on the handling of his re-election campaign. If he had been smart he would’ve kept his head down and not assulted his Democratic opponents. The election is his to lose, and he hasn’t made a smart move yet.
He also claimed that Democrats “Want to put a wall up around America.” Implying Kerry will isolate us further, if that is even possible.
His domestic policy and military spending are ludicrious, you don’t fight guerilla terrorists with massive armies, but maybe he will prove 6000 years of military history incorrect. Somewhere Sun-Tzu is crying.
