Obama and the US Fed Govt is spending $36m to train offshore replacements for US workers!
That means you and your kids sparky.
Oh I am sorry. Did you think that you read that headline wrong. Well you did not.
Obama’s campaign argued that the government needed to do more to keep hi-tech jobs in IT, biological sciences, and green energy in the country.
But now the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has launched a $36 million campaign to train workers, including 3,000 specialists in IT and related functions, in Asia, InformationWeek reports. We have also learned that USAID also launched a similar program in Armenia.
Obama also accused the Bush administration of creating tax loopholes that made it easier for U.S. companies to place work offshore during his campaign. Now I am no fan of either of the Bush’s as president but what the hell is going on here in the middle of a Depression! Millions to train your replacements!
After their training, the tech workers will be hired by outsourcing vendors that provide offshore IT and business services to American companies looking to take advantage of the low labor costs.
Under President Obama’s appointee director Rajiv Shah, USAID will partner with private outsourcers in other countries to teach workers advanced IT skills like Enterprise Java (Java EE) programming, as well as business process outsourcing, and English language skills.
