Ed Schultz And The TPP

We are not going to save 20th century jobs from China.
We have to re-invent and re-train and use enhanced technology to re-envision the American work force.
China just challenged Vietnam in disputed territories in the South China sea. Vietnamese boats were
the ones sustaining damage.
Either we rope these countries into the American economy by hook or by crook, or China will
subsume these lesser economies, making each one of those potential trading partners economic
satellites of the Chinese business sector.
America has to create much different jobs with its massive education system. Our education potential, our research and development abilities have to rev up in order for us to have a competitive
world presence.
President Obama knows we don't have forever to get this done.
China threatens to dominate both trade and manufacture in the Pacific rim if we don't have agreements with those countries which help them avoid the Chinese mammoth.
We have to make a sea change in the sort of jobs only Americans can to well, with appropriate
patent protection, and enough government lawyers to assure proper enforcement of our patents.
We are only 330 million people. Many of us are older now. We won't be competitive simply
because we don't allow affordable goods and services from foreign countries onto our shores.
We cannot afford to buy everything from each other, and we can't sell high-priced goods abroad.
But we have the infrastructure to innovate, to show our wares as unique.
Before we could be copied, we'd have conquered some new emerging markets.
We don't have a choice.
We make the best of every man, woman, and child in this country- or our work force becomes
extinct.
In the meantime, we need to embrace economies subject to Chinese overtake in order to buy some
time to renew our industry and manufacture. Our president is willing to guide us in this effort.
But we have to be willing to see the big picture without becoming too discouraged.
We are not going to make 20th century industry new or different or sustainable at $30+, per
hour in this 21st century, without reshaping it to be a newly sophisticated group of electronically
sophisticated sectors.
