I really think Dr. Landsburg needs to be stripped of his post. Clearly he is a racist. He needs to be moved to Bangladesh or maybe say somewhere in the middle of Nairobi to finish his research.
Somehow he thinks he has some right to the United States higher education Professor position, probably because he's a US Citizen and therefore went to college here and thus it's clearly racist he ever got this post. He's clearly a bigot for taking that post and not giving it to someone in Egypt.
They are all for guest worker Visas and of course they are, because open borders is precisely what corporations want. They want unlimited migration/immigration for by the laws of labor economics...that will put wage repression on steroids.
Don't believe me? See anyone from Alan Greenspan pointing this will repress middle class incomes (as a desirable thing) to WTO GATS mode 4 and various analysis thereof to any credible labor economist, including Paul Krugman. The fact the US chamber of Commerce lobbies for this extensively as well as our Silicon valley CEOs are demanding this as a payoff for campaign contributions should clue some people in here. It's about cheap labor and in the case of higher skills, global technology transfer.
The people who are the "no amnesty" crowd very often also want dramatic trade reforms. They are not the same as the corpocrats or neo-cons running the GOP.
The "guest worker" crowd (both parties) is the most obviously bought and paid for agenda.
I assuredly do not want the "free flow of humans across borders" because that would be the ultimate disaster for US workers. That is called a major "lose-lose" idea for all workers on a global scale but especially in the United States.
Ya know, this is one of those issues that truly one needs to look at the credible facts, the history of labor flows and especially the agenda of multinational corporations.
It sounds warm and fuzzy on the surface but the net effect is opposite the intent.
It's amazing how these same people who flame anyone and everyone with just a smidgen of protectionism, are also the same people who are against the free flow of humans across borders.
They are the ones that are racist, not you.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac sold $3 billion of short-term notes at yields that suggest the U.S. mortgage-finance companies are still capable of financing their businesses without government assistance
hmmm, ok, good news but how much debt do they really have?
I'm fairly certain in the deck of public relations playing cards, sitting on the tables of corporate board rooms everywhere, when the major players are worried about their hands....they pull the Race card from under the deck.
You are now a racist if:
you want America to be strong
you want US citizens to be first up for jobs in America
you don't like Obama
you do like Obama
you like Hillary Clinton
you don't want comprehensive immigration reform - a bill written by & for the US Chamber of Commerce
I'm just so amused, how scripted. They started with Hillary signs and then transitioned to Obama signs. Somehow I don't think that is going to pull in the Clintonistas with that nice imagery.
is the same line as the Repubs. It's also downright insulting to Americans to try to imply the issue is they are uneducated and not skilled. This is proven to be fiction. US workers are already the highest trained and educated. They simply are not addressing the wage ratio difference between the United States and emerging nations...plus literally they trade away jobs for some nebulous foreign policy.
I also note that manufacturing is almost non-existent.
They did a brief mention of tax credits for advanced manufacturing but the entire sector needs much more than that. For one they need to stop allowing manufacturing that is critical to national security from going offshore or being bought out by sovereign wealth funds. Then, how about simply banning the outsourcing of federal and state jobs. I think that one is stuck on stupid for that is taxpayer dollars and they should be recirculating in the domestic economy. While they think they are saving money for services when people do not have jobs that costs much more money to the US economy and the taxpayer.
Sorry about the sudden flurry of GOP ads on the site. That's an automated program which places based on content. Trying to earn a little cash to pay for the site and so of course the minute the keyword "Democratic" popped up they are using this fact to promote their party!
Ha ha! bear in mind if anyone c___ licks (put those together this is a no no to say anyone should do such a thing) they pay for it!
I hear what you're saying. He does sound good, and for a moment thought that maybe Obama picked th wrong guy, then he did the cell phone piece. Some points he made were valid, but I think you were spot on with your assessment. And I think, after talking with this guy, is why Obama didn't pick him also.
Oh God, this is not good listening to Warner for Americans already are the most highly educated in the world. This is higher education, not K12 and there is a glut of top tier engineers already who cannot find a job.
ok, so firstly that's just plain wrong, you can do a startup throughout Europe, China, India easily. It's not just America and I'd claim Finland has way more support systems in place to make it even easier because one doesn't have to worry about being able to make the rent in the process as badly as it is in the United States.
So, does that mean everybody gets the chance to start a business in order to become a billionaire? I'm talking about the opening of Mark Warner's speech.
Because at least in the case of IBM, they just plain got the money, offshore outsourced the jobs and even sold off divisions to others and all sorts of fun business games can go on....yet they got the taxpayer money anyway.
If they are going to do that they must tie in an iron clad contract that says they have to create jobs, x # of US workers and for a specified time period to at least make the taxpayer investment pay off.
Somehow they are just going to create these business friendly states to come and have jobs in them.
This is the DLC. Tax incentives to business, tax incentives to business.
Let's see. Howz that working out with the massive tax breaks already given to companies to invest here in the States? I believe IBM is moving offshore as fast as they can and in spite of tax incentives, promises and deals companies take these and then...move offshore.

that has to be the coolest looking post on this site ever. And yeah, the points made are definantly valid.
Bloomberg
hmmm, ok, good news but how much debt do they really have?
Could this be pissing in a bucket?
You are now a racist if:
From a site with the domain neo liberal.
I found this blog graph of what a Populist is.
He has Jim Webb as a Populist and I would say that's true.

that will get us in trouble.
Well, you'd think someone would talk more about Fannie and Freddie. Plus that FDIC is looking at bucket-load of banks! Odd.
Hey, c----- licked on one, let 'em pay us for their stupid propaganda. I hope they pay you on time.

Then it's time we should warn 'em that we could take a new tactic.
