OK- I just listened to this C-span session on jobs and free trade. I am actually quite impressed with what I heard, of course there was some grandstanding but overall the POVs sounded correct, mainly that free trade is a good thing (contrary to popular belief democrats are not protectionists), and that there is no opportunity to "trade up" for US jobs lost (the training argument). One of the speakers (congressman from somewhere, Durgan?) had just come from India so they understand the technology industry jobs situation. My senator Dianne Feinstein understands the abuse of temporary work visas and their role in facilitating offshoring, she seems to be under tremendous pressure to extend the visa caps.
