Americans Are to Blame For National Outsourcing

I've lurked around SoT for some time now, never really speaking up. The recent string of posts regarding outsourcing has finally driven me enough to speak my mind.

There are several points I intend to make, and I hope that you can finish the entire article, before bashing.

First of all.. I am personally tired of the never ending racist remarks regarding Indian companies and their employees. It is not their fault that WE as Americans have decided to sell country overseas to the highest bidder. That we have ignored our constitution and the warnings of our founding fathers in order to satisfy our never ending greed.

This NATIONAL issue of outsourcing reaches well beyond the industry of title abstracting.

Too many people do things for themselves, out of their own greed, without considering what is really best for America as a whole and for the WORLD as a whole. We as individuals as well as a nation have lived beyond our means for too many years.

We have strayed from the 'free market' our founding fathers created, and replaced it with government backed monopolies and mandated anti trust violations. We ignored their warnings against central bank systems and created the FED and a cycle of debt that can never be repaid. Our current economic crisis is the result of a century of debt and interest caused by the private bankers making up the FED.

To solve this current crisis, they will implement a new 'World Bank' to aid in stabilizing the global economy. We are ruled by the banks, and not by our 'elected' officials. They control our well being, our living standards and our lives all while giving us the 'illusion' of choice and freedom.

Economyincrisis.org for years has been tracking foreign OWNERSHIP of 'AMERICAN' companies. http://www.economyincrisis.org/content/ownership They also track the foreign ownership of our national debt, as well as the percent of consumption of consumer goods.

Look at the numbers on that website, and know we did it to ourselves. We did it out of greed, for the sake of profit, for that new car. We lie to ourselves to justify our actions. We told ourselves we deserve this treat, that vacation. We rationalized our decisions, and ignored all consequences.

Instead of being angry at the foreign companies who have entered American markets, I look at those numbers are realize, that foreign companies investments in the US are the REASON we still have markets. Our levels of spending would have otherwise bankrupted us long ago. They OWN the companies that employ millions of Americans. The average amount of money spent by foreign companies on US acquisitions in the 2007 fiscal year, which was $4,087.85 PER SECOND!

As far as foreign abstractors go, we can choose to throw the free market out the window, and establish monopolies for ourselves by requiring licensing. But before everyone goes and bashes the foreigners for trying to break into the American markets and take our jobs, just remember we sold them our companies and our jobs already. They are the reason we still have jobs.

I see many of you speak of foreigners as if they were the enemy. Our only enemy is within. We need to reclaim our government from the banks. Reel in spending, stop policing the world, and tighten our belts. We as individuals AND as a nation must cut up the credit cards, end the cycle of debt created by the FED, and learn to once again Live BENEATH our means
