Wasn't really inspired to blog much about the last debate.
One comment though -- I think the most telling moment of the debate was when Bush was asked about what he would say to a person whose job had been sent overseas. His response? To talk about "No Child Left Behind". Again. As if the testing of grade school children has any bearing at all on the predicament an adult who is out of work today.
As if he eventually realized that the quality of public school education was not really appropriate as an answer, he belatedly mentionted that there is trade adjustment assistance money available to help people whose jobs have gone away retrain for new jobs.
Interesting, I though, I'll have to check into that. One quick Google later, I find that even the Heritage Foundation -- hardly a bastion of liberalism -- calls the TAA program inadequate and flawed.
Typical.
