NEW DELHI — Rebuffing U.S. critics, India's finance minister, Jaswant Singh, said Wednesday that high-tech jobs would continue to move from the USA to India because the savings make it unavoidable.

India is preparing for national elections next month. Singh refused to comment on statements by Kerry, now the apparent Democratic nominee, supporting tax code changes that would discourage companies from relocating jobs to other countries.

But the Indian official, clearly hoping that tempers will cool after the November U.S. presidential election, suggested that any protectionist moves are doomed.

Soon-to-be-President Kerry is our one best hope to save American jobs and the American economy. It appears that Mr. Singh recognizes this. Perhaps we would do well to get together behind our candidate and work like our future depends on it. Because....it does!

1. ill be lmao

when he starts complaining about jobs leaving India for Bangladesh, just like jobs are leaving Mexico for even cheeper labor. It's one thing to take our jobs and another to be a smug a-hole while doing it.
