A far better way to deal with the downside of international trade is to help retrain workers whose jobs have disappeared.

Retrain them as what? This is the question they don't answer. John Stossel was on Laura Ingraham's show this morning and he uttered the standard "retrain them" line, but didn't offer any ideas about what occupations will still exist tomorrow.

“Retrain them as what?”

A few years ago we tried to get that kind of answer out of my employer. We understood some skill sets being off-shored so we wanted to know what was staying so we could train and be ahead of the curve. Never did get an answer because there isn’t one. I have often thought that if executive positions were the first to go, their opinions would be different.
