Your article said: :... federal government should promote trade adjustment assistance to help displaced workers find new employment.
We also need legislation that encourages companies to keep jobs here... "


The federal government (and their environmental extremest friends) are the reason for the jobs leaving this country to start with.. Every time one turns around we see more government regulation making it harder for business to survive.. The environmentalists do everything they can to halt mining, logging, and drilling efforts in this country.. By doing so, not only are jobs lost, but the US is forced to depend on foreign interests to provide the raw materials that could be produced right here in America.
