Outsourcing Federal Jobs
Skippy writes about last week's Senate vote to prevent federal civilian agencies from outsourcing American jobs. It sounds good, until you read the fine print:
in a last-minute deal, the senators made exceptions for the defense and homeland security departments, as well as intelligence agencies and security programs at the energy department. the amendment also allows agency heads to make exceptions for some security-related purchases and for items or services only produced or available outside of the country.
whew! that was close! good thing we can still send the work of homeland security and defense of this country overseas for foreign nationals to do!
