Surprise! American Manufacturing is Rebounding |
In theory, the trade part should be easier. Exports have surged in the past two years. In fact, they are on track to meet President Obamas goal of doubling in five years, something that was dismissed in 2010 as political happy talk.
Making matters worse, some fiscal conservatives have tried to kill the Export-Import Bank of the United States, a heretofore non-controversial finance agency that facilitates exports. Its future was held in doubt for months as a May 31 deadline approached, prompting some foreign companies to wonder whether they should commit to buying American and risk losing their financing. Export-Imports reauthorization finally passed out of Congress on Tuesday.
On the education front, solutions include more support for community colleges, vocational schools and public-private partnerships for on-the-job training.

This is why we need to support education and infrastructure. Hear that Republicans. You can't have it both ways. Refusing to support education and the rebuilding of America and then asking "where are the jobs"?
