Fair enough, but we still had the capacities to become the *Arsenal of Democracy*. And I kind of think Americans were a bit more concerned about the welfare of one another. I've seen old posters; "Buy a car, give a guy a job".
The state I live in is always in the top five for unemployment. There are numerous state and federal programs for retraining workers who lost jobs to imports.
But none of the "Trainers" will guarantee a job, unless you chose truck driving or bar tending. Great eh?

has anyone ever gotten a job from federal retraining programs?

after 9-11 i had like a $3000 voucher to go take classes for "retraining" ,all the institutions were interested in was the getting their hands on the voucher.

I ended up not using it and making 60k per year
