WASHINGTON - Leading technology companies urged Congress and
the Bush administration Wednesday not to impose new trade
restrictions aimed at keeping U.S. jobs from moving overseas, where labor costs are lower.
The companies said such policies would do little to resolve long-standing problems more broadly affecting America's global competitiveness, such as low-scoring schools and inadequate research spending.
Erecting trade barriers, the corporations said, "could lead to retaliation from our trading partners and even an all-out trade war."
(boo hoo hoo, you mean that $2 Kinpo calculator will cost me $4 ??)
The effort shows the industry's growing concerns that lawmakers may clamp down on the "offshoring" of U.S. jobs during an election year. Already, some Democratic candidates have criticized the practice.
"There is no job that is America's God-given right anymore," Carly Fiorina, chief executive for Hewlett-Packard Co., said Wednesday. "We have to compete for jobs."
(Hmmmmmmmm OK lets get rid of Carly's job. We could replace her with a starving Mexican getting $4 a week. Lot cheaper and would do a better job too).
