The Chamber of Commerce is accusing Democratic candidates of being responsible for job loss as they (Chamber of Commerce) support outsourcing.
?????????????????

They are taking foreign money to support the GOP candidates from India and China and have presented no proof to back up their denial. These guys need to be brought down to the mine in Chile before it is sealed.

That's funny... Did I know the Chamber supports outsourcing? I have known that for years... So does Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, and pretty much 100% of all the billionaires out there... last time I check, they were also heavy liberal supporters... are you suggesting we vote out the democrats to?? Perhaps you didn't know but half truths are still lies.... unless you are liberal, in which lies are okay as long as a liberal is saying them...

Common sense would tell the OP that the Chamber supports the private business owner and as long as Democrat tax and regulation policies punish private business that there is no reason for the Chamber to take any other stance.


Yawn..........at least we know the WH talking points are still "attack Chamber of Commerce".

It must really stink for the Dumb-o-crats not to be able to stand on their own policy the past nearly 4 years of Congressional control.

You're just waking up NOW ???
That horse left the barn a few decades ago.

When it was one or two industries that offshored..it was "no big deal".
Now it's any job that doesn't involve a physical presence. Too late.

Yes. In fact, the Chamber's open letter to Obama asked Obama specifically to reverse the anti-business policies, regulations, and taxes that are driving jobs overseas, and to improve our lagging education system:

Of course, Obama being Obama... the pleas fell on deaf ears and things have not worked out so well. Obama has done nothing to encourage job growth in the U.S. He just seems hell-bent on driving even more jobs offshore.

It's a nice letter, the U.S Chamber of Commerce does a great job "Talking Their Book".

They mention every bills is a jobs bill but don't hold the Republican Party accountable for holding up bills specifically designed to help small businesses.

It's basically a plea to keep their tax breaks in place when corporate profits are reaching pre-financial crises high.
