How can Obama rail on about Romney and outsourcing when the "Obama Jobs Council (is) Packed With Outsourcing Companies". The quote is the title to a July 16, 2012 Huffington Post article. Additional quotes from within the article:

"Thereâs General Electric, whose CEO Jeffrey Immalt has served as chair of the advisory board since January 2011. Since Immalt took over GE in 2001, the company has lost 37,000 American jobs and added 25,000 jobs overseas" and

Chris Townsend, political director of the United Electrical Workers labor union that represents roughly 5,500 GE employees in the U.S., said "the company has closed more than 30 U.S. plants since Obama took office. GE is a company that, despite the constant claims of growth, continues to shrink in the United States,â

These facts are not coming from some Conservative think tank but the Huffington Post! Quotes are not from a con blog but from a union political director.

That is not what I intended or any other legislator who voted for the stimulus intended.â

It's one thing for private industry to outsource, but it's quite another when your own President does it using taxpayer money!

The list of Obama's outsourcing and wasting TAXPAYER money is a long one.. too long for this answer, but read for yourself!

After the USA is declared insolvent, how will the public take drastic austerity measures?

KRR

These are some of the things that Greece must do. I wonder how these measures will be received when our President refuses to deal with the debt?

Taxes will increase by 2.32 billion euros this year and 3.38 billion, 152 million and 699 million in the three subsequent years. There will be higher property taxes and an increase in the value-added tax (VAT) from 19 percent to 23 percent.

Luxury levies will be introduced on yachts, pools and cars and there will be special levies on profitable firms, high-value properties and people with high incomes.

Excise taxes on fuel, cigarettes and alcohol will rise by one-third.

Public sector wages will be cut by 15 percent.

Defense spending will be cut by 200 million euros in 2012 and 333 million each year from 2013 to 2015.

Education spending will be cut by closing or merging 1,976 schools.

Social Security will be cut by 1.09 billion euros this year, 1.28 billion in 2012, 1.03 billion in 2013, 1.01 billion in 2014 and 700 million in 2015. There also will be means testing, and the statutory retirement age will be raised to 65 from 61.

The government will privatize a number of its enterprises, including the OPAP gambling monopoly, the Hellenic Postbank, several port operations, Hellenic Telecom and will sell its stake in Athens Water, Hellenic Petroleum, PPC electric utility and lender ATEank, as well as ports, airports, motorway concessions, state land and mining rights.

Only one in 10 civil servants retiring this year will be replaced and one in five in coming years.

Health spending will be cut by 310 million euros this year and 1.81 billion euros from 2012 to 2015.

Answer
The US will not be declared insolvent. Questioning the validity of the national debt is unconstitutional, according to the 14th amendment. â Â°)
