More Outsourcing Hijinks from Hijacker Hillary
Shame, shame! Bartcop. You will not disclose Hillary Clinton's jobs exporting program for the state of New York. I have lived in the Buffalo area. It has been a city in decline for a long time. Being that it is downwind from Niagra Falls, New York, Beau Fleuve got all the infernal exhalations of that industrial furnace town without any of the benefits. Luckily, Niagra Falls is just a cemetry of brownfields now. The ghosts of children, killed off by industrial diseases, wander its doomsday landscapes. As for Buffalo, it has been mainly a bakery town for the rest of the east coast. High tech was supposed to be Buffalo's salvation with clean jobs in code development.
Hillary has played more like the evil stepmother, who sends her unloved young charges into the coal mines for a few dirty coppers. You are supposed to represent New York's citizens, Hillary, not Tata Consulting!! TaTa Consulting Services gets 65% of its revenues from its North American operations. Those are revenues that leave the country. TaTa also gets a share of all technolgy patent fees generated at American universities. Not only that, but TaTa is a consortium of companies in such areas as auto components to cell phone networks. Why are we making touchdowns for the other side?
Hillary claims that the arrangement will create jobs in the Buffalo area. You believe her, right? Look at NAFTA as approved by her husband back in the 90's. Stop believing the lies!
Corporate partner
BuffLink
Firm will look to UB for research projects that may have a commercial use

Buffalo's bioinformatics center signed up a new corporate partner Monday, one with capital and business ties that will help transform lab research into job-generating products, officials said.
Tata Consultancy Services, an infotech giant based in Mumbai, India, signed a research sharing partnership with UB in a ceremony Monday. It also announced the opening of a regional office in downtown Buffalo.
"TCS is an international powerhouse in the area of consulting and information technology," Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said at the ceremony at the Hyatt. "I think this will lead to more jobs and investment here in Buffalo."
Sen. Clinton introduced the company to upstate New York in a tour last summer.
The high-powered announcement also drew Subramaniam Ramadorai, TCS' chief executive officer; Nobel laureate Herbert Hauptman, of the Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute, and Buffalo Mayor Anthony Masiello.
But local competitors fear TCS could end up exporting computer tasks to India, where wages for programmers are lower.
"If they pay half what we're paying, they're in a much better position," said John Gibson, president of Computer Consulting Services of Western New York, a 30-person firm in Amherst. "Labor cost is the largest portion of our business." Gibson's firm helps companies build computer systems to manage business data.
TCS has drawn criticism for employing non-citizens with temporary work visas in the U.S., as well as for exporting software development tasks to India. The company has 5,000 employees in North America, about one-quarter of its total employment.
Company officials said TCS will be a corporate citizen of Western New York and an engine of growth here.
"When TCS comes to a community we must belong to the community, participate in the activities of the community," chief executive Ramadorai said.
The company - whose clients include drug makers Eli Lilly Co. and Johnson & Johnson - will look to UB for research projects that can be turned to commercial use, such as drug development tools.
"Research for the sake of research is not something we look at," Ramadorai said.
TCS has formed partnerships with 18 universities including Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh, the University of Southern California, Riverside, Calif., and the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee.
Under the agreement, TCS may support research projects at UB in return for rights to commercialize the results, vice provost Bruce Holm said. License agreements for specific technology will ensure that Buffalo and New York state get a share of the work, he said.
The university is working on similar, non-exclusive agreements with other companies in Ireland and France, Holm said.
Headquartered in Mumbai, formerly called Bombay, TCS has annual sales of $880 million and 20,140 global employees. Its North American operations have 50 offices and generate more than 65 percent of total sales. TCS is part of India's Tata Group, a conglomerate of 80 companies in industries from auto components to cell phone networks.

I wrote Senator Clinton asking her about the seeming paradox of criticising the Repubs for "pro outsourcing" attitudes while herself courting the export of jobs to India. I of course never recieved a reply. She is a globalist pro corporate, pro outsourcing shill for the NWO. I would NEVER vote for her.
That is her most disgusting quality. She bleats so caringly against the the Repubs, and then later sides with them on the most tear inducing, face cringing legislation. She is the Judas Goat of liberals.
Hillary is not the only dem running who is selling out the middle class with the line up including Obama, Biden, and (maybe)celebrity loving Gore, who is probably the biggest tech lobby insider and friend of Technet. They're all whores to the corporate welfare establishment.
I agree with you. I feel like the new feudalistic corporate order is like a multi-headed hydra. You cut one head and then three more heads grow into to replace it. Please look into being a member of the American Workers Coalition. They do a lot of organizing against the H1B visa issue. Here below is Al Gore's 2000 agenda:

Al Gore on Our Issues
Immigration Issues:
I support addressing the growing backlog of applications for citizenship applications and for individuals waiting to reunite with their families. As president, I would work with Congress to ensure adequate resources for the INS.
I urge Congress to allow families to remain together in the United States while immigration applications are pending, rather than force them to return to their home country, and to permit qualified long-term migrants who have lived in the United States since 1986 to become lawful permanent residents and retain their substantial tie to this country.
H1-B Visa:
During this time of economic prosperity, with unemployment at its lowest in thirty years, we must ensure that this expansion is not slowed by a shortage of highly skilled workers. I understand how companies that depend upon a well-skilled work force have benefited from the H1-B visa program, and I supported legislation that increased the number of visas for skilled immigrants from 65,000 to 115,000.
I also support providing additional resources to educate and train U.S. workers, while increasing the number of H1-B visas to 200,000 for fiscal years 2001 through 2003.
Racial Profiling and wen ho lee:
As the judge in the case indicated, there are legitimate questions about whether Mr. Lee was treated fairly in terms of the nature and extent of his pretrial detention. He is an American citizen, and he is entitled to every protection that our constitution provides.
I do believe that it is critical to protect our nuclear secrets for national security reasons. I will also continue the work of the Department of Energy to assure that all scientists working in our nation’s laboratories are treated fairly, and allegations of discrimination or racial profiling are appropriately addressed.
Racial profiling has no place in our country and will not be tolerated in my administration.
Hate Crimes Legislation:
America cannot tolerate hate crimes. It is almost beyond belief that Republicans in Congress have blocked our efforts to take needed action. I support a vigorous federal role in preventing, investigating and prosecuting hate crimes. Therefore, I strongly urge Congress to pass the Hate Crimes Prevention Act to expand the definition of hate crimes to include gender, sexual orientation, and disability, and allow prosecution of these crimes under federal law.
(Excerpted)
I think I will start another blog on the next hireling that comes to the top. Feel free to start your own blog on your favorite Democratic whore. Biden provides plenty of material with his adventures in plagiarism. Barrack Obama comes with his own unintentionally funny auto- biography. For a 6th grader it is an ambitious first stab at the the literary, but for a middle aged man it is an achievement of Forest Gump proportions. Just plant a few excerpts into a blog every week and then your work is done. I think Dennis Kucinich or Ron Paul are worthy of consideration. But this liberal would probably lean more heavily toward Ron Paul. Our republic is in serious ruins. Ron Paul has gravitas. I fear any legislation that would impose "hate" as an aggravation to an offense. I feel comfortable leaving aggravation decisions to judges not legislators. I do not feel Kucunich would leave the judiciary alone on this issue of aggravation.
A VOTE FOR HILLARY IS A VOTE FOR THE NORTH AMERICAN UNION.
