Re: money

I wonder if they plan to use some of the new presidents money that is earmarked as a tax deduction for 'new jobs' to do this.

I could see many companies (already) doing layoffs so that they can get tax deductions to hire them back.

So could I, however, that died a long time ago and was scrapped.

To be honest, I think they are moving jobs back due to the weakening dollar. Its becoming more expensive to buy outside this country than it is to use that $1 bill that's worth about $0.50 cents here.

 They are moving jobs back because public irritation with the "quality" of support they got from off-shore agents and a union demand to bring the work back during the last contract negotiation provided them a two-fer.
