California Jobs Group Caught Outsourcing

A jobs-creation group funded by business and supported by Gov. Schwarzenegger, Citizens to Save California (CSC), has been outsourcing work to India. The move has been defended as being a small part of the group's total effort. Nonetheless, political opponents and critics are accusing the organization of being disingenuous because there is no shortage of Californians able to do the work.

Responding in a press release, the CSC stated that the controversy "is another desperate, political stunt" and a "thinly veiled attempt to derail" the reforms needed to improve the job climate.

The outfall of the controversy remains to be seen, but one thing is certain. With the outsourcing and jobs issues always potentially explosive, it seems the CSC committed a serious political blunder by allowing the outsourcing of work to India. Tsk, tsk.

1 Funny how the folks on the left are quick to yell "It's the HYPOCRISY!" when it suits them, but consider themselves immune from any accusation of hypocrisy even when it's transparent. In a related story, Jeff Gannon still looking for work . . .

2 I may have spoken to soon. They're sponsored by business and are opposed to outsourcing? I assumed they were of the same political bent as the anti-WTO street rabble one sees from time to time. California politics makes less and less sense the more I look at it. "Never mind."
