TO: Mervyn Lobo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The politist description of news published in the Globe & Mail is bovine excrement. I am sorry that that seems to be your only source of information.

Mervyn responds: Where did you get there numbers from? A bar in Toledo? Mario replies: Why don't you put down the feni bottle and the Globe & Mail, do some research on the internet, and find out for yourself?

Mervyn responds: When you give a multi-national a tax break for sending jobs abroad, guess what they are going to do? I also hope that the "insourcing" jobs that you refer to, are not the type that all the training required is to say, "Would you like fries with that?" Mario replies: Obviously you have no idea what you are talking about. Regardless of what you read in the Globe & Mail, there are no special tax breaks in the US for sending jobs abroad, but there are no restrictions against sending jobs abroad. Since you seem to be unaware of all the foreign companies that are placing their offices and plants in the US, I will give you a couple: Toyota and Honda are two that even you may recognize. The US has gained far more jobs from foreign companies in the US than the jobs that have been outsourced, many to India.
