Q "Thank you, Mr. President. Staying with that theme, although there are some signs of improvement in the economy, there are sectors in the work force who feel like they're being left behind. They're concerned about jobs going overseas, that technology is taking over jobs. And these people are finding difficulty finding work. And although you're recommitted yourself to your tax cut policy, do you have any ideas or any plans within the administration of what you might do for these people who feel like there are fundamental changes happening in the work force and in the economy? "

Note the italics - the reporter specifically targeted people who are AFRAID THAT TECHNOLOGY IS TAKING OVER JOBS. That statement in NO WAY refers to the tech sector - it refers to workers who are put out of jobs by tech advances, not by tech outsourcing. The question never addresses overseas tech outsourcing, nor does it bring up the visa program.

Very well. What has Bush or any member his economic team, said about that then? Anything?
On Snow's (I think it was him) recent trip to the midwest to rally support for the economy he's been asked about this trend, and recently said that he's going to go to China to talk to them about it. What on earth is he going to say? Stop sending us your goods? Is that all we have for economic leadership in this country?
