The real reason the Right are making up lies about India. 53,670 U.S. jobs. $10 billion order

[TheBigotBasher]

This is what the trip is delivering.

SpiceJet an Indian airline will purchase 33 737s from Boeing
The Indian military is confirming a deal to purchase Aircraft engines from General Electric
The Indian Air Force is looking to buy 10 C17s from Boeing.

That $10 billion package of orders will deliver 53,670 jobs to America.

53,670 people will be in work in the US as a result of this.

Even if the ridiculous figures of Michelle Bachmann were even half right, that cost of the trip to secure a deal like that would be worth it and that is only the start of the trip.

2. And that explains why they are trying to discredit the trip

It actually makes Obama look good and is doing something positive for jobs. Can't have people finding out about that!

7. Thank you, your assumptions have been noted :)

20. Gladly,

I think you are as wrong with your assumption here as you are with your hundreds of other posts calling the President a coward or spineless.

6. Hmmm that's not quite the way I heard it....

9. If they are finally buying from us

then that tide is turning.

a market of 1 billion plus consumers is a good thing. The outsourcing would finally pay off.

14. Trade is already somewhat balanced.

In 2009, imports to the US from India were $21 billion, while exports from the US to India were $16 billion. Not equal, but nothing like the imbalance between China and the US.

17. Indians have been buying Machinery from us for a long time

The company I worked for 23 years alone exported millions
of dollars worth of Machines to India. This goes back to
the 1970's. So it has been a very long time.

15. There is hatred of India here because lot of IT posters here

IT jobs have moved to India because in the age of Internet
it is possible and India has a huge pool of English speaking
skilled programmers.

16. Why aren't they hating the companies that are using these cheaper resources in India?

I can't hate the Indians, they are just trying to make a living like anyone else. Now the corporations? Boycott them..

18. When your job is exported, I can understand the bitterness /nt

19. India offshore SUCKS

21. Obama calls India creator, not poacher, of US jobs

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/obama_asia

[SunsetDreams]

22. Well in this case India did create 53,670 U.S. jobs, so he is right

When Unemployment is so high, I guess he should have said, sorry you are a "poacher of jobs", I won't do a trade deal with you.
Even though I know it will help some of the U.S. people back home.
