Romney policies resulted in outsourcing of jobs to Ind:Biden
"When he (Romney) was Governor of Massachusetts, he vetoed a bill passed by the Massachusetts legislature that would have stopped the state from outsourcing contracts overseas. That resulted in millions of dollars flowing to companies running call centers in India," Biden said in a campaign speech in Davenport, Iowa.
It's no surprise that Massachusetts was losing manufacturing jobs twice as fast as the rest of the country while Governor Romney was in charge. The third worst rate in the country, Biden alleged.
"We're
both
talking
about
tax
cuts
to
manufacturers.
The
difference
is:
Our
tax
cuts
go
to
companies
that
create
jobs
over
here.
Governor
Romney's
tax
cuts
go
to
companies
that
create
jobs
overseas.
It's
fundamentally
different
philosophy
from
ours,"
Biden
said.
Romney
is
leading
among
the
Republican
presidential
aspirants
to
bag
the
party's
nomination
to
challenge
Barack
Obama
in
the
November
elections.
Biden also claimed that manufacturing was coming back. "And that's good news for America, and for America's middle class. 430,000 new manufacturing jobs since January 2010. More than 15,000 right here in the state of Iowa. Fastest growth since the 1990s," he said.
"After years of hearing about outsourcing, a new word has come into our vocabulary: insourcing. Jobs that left the United States are coming back. Plants that closed are opening, reinvented," the US Vice President said.
