U.S. Chamber of Turd

In opposition to the Creating American Jobs and Ending Offshoring Act, the Chamber wrote the following to Congress:
"Replacing a job that is based in another country with a domestic job does not stimulate economic growth or enhance the competitiveness of American worldwide companies."
I'm glad that the rocket scientists at the Chamber have figured out that putting more unemployed Americans to work who would receive a paycheck and subsequently buy goods (i.e. consumers) would not stimulate economic growth.

Such award winning economic logic cannot go unnoticed.
