If you thought the employment picture in the U.S. had problems before, you haven't seen anything yet.

Free traitors, the people of America will curse you. And, you'll deserve it.

Get ready to see wages in the U.S. take a substantial dip. If India gets unrestricted access to our job market - as they seek to do, per the article - our wages will decline as their massive supply of cheap labor invades what was once our country.

No doubt free traitors will run about squawking about lower prices to consumers; but for every dime the consumer saves, they'll lose hundreds of dollars of income due to the devastation of our domestic labor market.

Make no mistake, consumers will pay a heavy price. We'll see more bankruptcies, lower income, more people losing their health insurance, and greater pressure on public services of every sort.

Congratulations, free traitors! Your victory is within your grasp! You may well accomplish your goal of destroying America. Happy?

So banks can open branches in India (more than likely employing Indians) and Indians can come here and take jobs too. Sounds more like a win for India.

So, while at best there is considerable gain for Indian companies and professionals if Washington plays ball, at worst New Delhi would be scoring a telling political point.

This just in. . .

India threatens to withold all engineering infrastructure support and suspend the manufacture of smart weapons unless the U.S. withdraws from Iraq and unilaterally disarms.

The earliest reference to proposing a U.S.-India FTA that I can find is one from Harvard.

I didn't know this until I did a google search on the terms "India FTA", but India has gone FTA-happy: they have an FTA that will commence with Thailand in September of this year; they are officially studying one with China as of March of this year; one in the works with South Africa; one with ASEAN; Singapore... it certainly doesn't look they are exactly picky about all of this.

[from the picture:] FTA could allow Indian service professionals in IT and health to gain unrestricted access to US market. [...] Professionals may take up jobs in US without visa hassles.
[...]
The start of the bilateral FTA negotiations, however, seems unlikely before the November presidential election in the US, trade analysts said.

Free trade bump!

Oh brother. I think I'm gonna be sick. Anyone got a stopwatch going for the first free traitor to show up and tell us how good this is for us.

Let's see we have already given all our low skilled and a great deal of our journeyman jobs to Mexicans so now we are going to give most of the middle class jobs to Indians. All so the super rich can play in India's financial sector? Hey, this sounds like a great deal for the super rich, so I am certain our leaders will make it happen.

If anyone still has any doubt that the USA is totally controlled by the elite super rich, this atricle should end them.
