2. That IS very good!

Really raises the visibility of this outsourcing issue.

Here is the relevant Q&A in * press conference two days ago. Not only did he fail to answer the question, he blames the worker for not keeping his skills up to date, AND he indicates that he thinks a $3000 payoff to "help" you get another job is some kind of solution.

QUESTION: 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 are being left behind. They're concerned about jobs going over seas, that technology is taking over jobs, and these people are finding difficulty finding work.

And, although you've 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?

BUSH: Sure. Listen, I fully understand what you're saying. As technology races through the economy, a lot of times worker skills don't keep up with technological change. And that's a significant issue that we've got to address in the country.

I think my idea of reemployment accounts makes a lot of sense. In essence it says that you get $3,000 from the federal government to help you with training, day care, transportation, perhaps moving to another city. And if within a period of time you're able to find a job, you keep the balance as a reemployment bonus.

10. 3000 wouldnt pay for diddily
What job training can someone get for $3,000 let alone technology training and have any left over? 3,000 wouldn't even put a dent in my student loan debt.

This is just like his father buying socks to stimulate the economy. He needs to be hammered on this.

4. Great idea, but where would we send him? Who would have him?
I don't think that even members of the coalition of the bribed, threatened, er, I mean...willing, would have him.

6. Its good but...
the implication is that you are advocating a foreigner for president. Its funny on the front side but the back side is sticky. The freepers could turn it around "OUTSOURCE BUSH, VOTE CASTRO" jmho

9. I wouldn't wish him on anybody.
Also, I don't think any other country would have him.
