U.S. Infrastructure Being Rebuilt By Chinese Companies, With Chinese Labor !

Who to blame? The people in charge of negotiating contracts? The president? Elected officials? or just maybe, the public?

Although I agree with many of you that this is fundamentally wrong I don't agree about who you blame for this.

The people we elect are supposed to represent our best interests. To often they only represent the interests of who can contribute more to their campaign. People will always lose this battle because we can't match those contributions. Politicians are bought and sold like used cars.

We, as the public have only thing we can do about this kind of behavior. That is to not elect politicians that we know will not represent us. It's mentioned in the comment that we should vote accordingly in 2012. But for who? Mitt was one of the first people that jumped aboard the China off-shoring train. In fact you could say that he was a Beta tester for that type of business model. He made a lot of money by destroying American jobs and recreating them in other countries for profit. Now he want's to lead our country and do what? the same? I haven't ever heard him say anything about making sure jobs no longer move overseas. Obama isn't really the answer either because he thinks that outsourcing whether it's here in our county in the form of Visa's or if a corporation wants to build a call center in India is good for America.

We, for better or worse have put these people in positions of power. We are the ones that are ultimately at fault for our economy. We have to take responsibility for our actions, putting the blame on others that would profit from our misery is a poor excuse to get angry since we are usually the ones that put people in positions to do this to us.

Road construction will always go to the lowest bidder. If a German or Chinese company can do it for cheaper then you finally understand the true nature of why corporations offshore jobs in the first place.

This is why I cast my vote for "This Makes Sense To Me" because it does. It's not right and I would prefer that these contracts go to Americans but the reality is that it's business as usual.

Perhaps you have some secret info that camp 0bozo and the talking heads haven't uncovered? Where did Romney outsource?

Seems the closet full of shoes are on the other feet and 0bozo has beeen outsourcing thousands of jobs overseas with Billions of taxpayer $$$ from the stimulus package.
In addition, we have Chinese firms being awarded contracts to build bridges in NY & CA that was supposed to be American shovel-ready jobs,

Here's some of the indisputable facts that can be verified by going to the WH website showing where the "Recovery Act" dollars went and how they were spent.

Tracing Obama's Overseas Investments
Electric Cars

Obama handed over billions of dollars in loan guarantees and stimulus awards pursuant to his goal of putting one-million electric vehicles on the road by 2015. Much of that money ended up leaving our shores. A $2.4 billion stimulus program to support battery production sent nearly half of its money to foreign firms, including two South Korean companies that used their awards to hire foreign nationals in Michigan to do work that Americans easily could have done. In the end, despite all the money Obama handed out, electric vehicle sales have lagged and The Washington Post deemed his goal of one million electric cars "overly optimistic."
Wind Farms

Obama's stimulus included over $8.5 billion in grants for wind farms that flowed overseas, despite Congressional criticism from both sides of the aisle. In total, over half of the money went to either foreign developers or foreign wind turbine manufacturers, creating thousands of jobs overseas with money that was supposed to create jobs within the United States. Even worse, hundreds of millions of dollars went to wind farms that began construction before the stimulus was passed. The end result of all this spending: the wind energy industry lost 10,000 jobs last year.
Manufacturing TaxCredits

As Obama was doling out over $2.3 billion in clean energy manufacturing tax credits that were supposed to create jobs in America, $880 million went to foreign firms. Worse still, some of those same recipients are now closing up shop and shipping jobs overseas.
Loan Guarantees

Remember Solyndra? The problems with Obama's loan guarantee program don't end there. The largest recipient of Obama's program to jumpstart green energy projects was the Spanish Company Abengoa, which took in $2.7 billion in loan guarantees for three of its projects. Other projects importing foreign-made solar panels are, much in the same way as Fisker Automotive, choosing to make their products overseas.
