David Perdue: ‘Most of my career’ spent outsourcing
Below is a taste of the Politico.com story on Republican David Perdue that has both camps talking. Consider it a sure talking point for Tuesday's U.S. Senate debate in Perry:
"Yeah, I spent most of my career doing that," Perdue said, according to the 186-page transcript of his sworn testimony.
The Georgia Republican then listed his career experience, much of which involved outsourcing.
"[At] Kurt Salmon Associates, some of my experience there was helping footwear companies develop the ability to import shoes from Asia, specifically Taiwan, Korea, China, Indonesia, Malaysia," Perdue noted, referring to his 12 years working for that management consulting company that specialized in outsourcing manufacturing for apparel companies. Perdue eventually became a partner with the firm.
