Jobs Americans won't do...

...because their government would rather train their foreign competitors:
Despite President Obama's pledge to retain more hi-tech jobs in the U.S., a federal agency run by a hand-picked Obama appointee has launched a $22 million program to train workers, including 3,000 specialists in IT and related functions, in South Asia.

Following their training, the tech workers will be placed with outsourcing vendors in the region that provide offshore IT and business services to American companies looking to take advantage of the Asian subcontinent's low labor costs.

There's a great strategy for you: in a time of rising U.S. unemployment and massive government deficits, let's borrow even more money from China so we can train foreign workers who'll work more cheaply, thus making it harder for Americans who want to work to find it. To be honest, I don't see any Constitutional authority for the government to be providing job training for anyone... but if you're going to walk all over the Constitution, the least you could do is make sure it's to OUR benefit and not some other country's!

Given this and many other examples of Uncle Sam working directly against the best interests of Americans, can anyone deny Sheriff Babeu has a point?
