But, you are changing the subject...

The subject was the President's remarks. The President was not talking about the H1-B and outsourcing. Reading his answer to the question makes that clear.

The headline written by the IEEE claimed that the President Blames Unemployment On Lack of Tech Skills. He did not.

Now, if you want to debate the current job market and the outsourcing of many IT jobs... that's a different ball of wax, and I will be happy to do so.

That in turn defines YOUR mental horsepower...

And why is it that you are so quick to insult... can't you debate without it...

However, the problem with unemployment now is NOT training, but with job availablity. We have many well-trained and experienced workers - IT, engineers, etc. - who cannot find work. What makes you think that giving a former manufacturing worker $3,000 of training will make any improvement on his job chances when those folks can't even find work, and when the very jobs that person would be qualified to do in the tech sector are the ones being shipped overseas in the largest quantities?

BTW, I can debate just fine without insults. But I do use them when they're appropriate. And YOU'RE a fine one to talk - you come barging in with a post that disparages me, but have the temerity to get after the tone I subsequently use on you.
