But no President is going to solve all of those industry-specific problems for you.

Uh, Southack, I never asked him to. But his proposed solution flies in the face of current realites - that, if low-level tech jobs are being moved out of this country, giving someone $3,000 for some low-level technical training will convert someone from an unemployable manufacturing worker to an unemployable technical worker.

It's that simple. Which is why your response has to be so convoluted to try and get around it.

And I'm still waiting to see how a 1.8 percent average salary increase, coupled with a 2.2 percent inflation rate, is a good thing.

Get off the tech channel.

Bush was giving an answer for textile workers and factory assembliers, not tech workers, in my opinion.
