It will be more democratic. The legislation is designed to safe guard american sovereignty and promote american values. Congress will be sending u. S. Trade policy in a more progressive direction than it has ever been before. The committee spent a lot of time over the last several days discussing these proposals. And the piece of the package that focuses on trade promotion is certainly going to get much of the attention today. But i want to make sure that the other parts get the attention they want as well. This package is going back to American Workers with job training, Financial Support and access to health care when they are knocked offstride by the Global Economy. It is a tough challenge competing in Global Markets and there is fierce competition everywhere. Thats why the package extends the Health Coverage tax credit and expands trade adjustment assistance to include for the first time Service Workers in addition to workers in manufacturing. The trade adjustment benefits will be

Version. Is this a budget that will work for working americans . Or is it a budget designed for powerful, special interests . You see, there has been a lot of rhetoric on both sides of the aisle about helping the middle class and fighting for workers but a budget document puts down real numbers, concepts, and we can see if it is just rhetoric or a vision for expanding and strengthening the middle class.

The population is over 7 billion people, desperation in immigration to europe, better resource nationalism because it will fail to produce employment, i wonder how vulnerable do you think a retreat from global trade alliances, wto, return to resources that it nationalism, a wonder how big a concern you might see this unemployment and an ability to deliver jobs to you. My own view is you have a real challenge, a lot of the interest in the emerging markets in the last decade was driven by resources, particularly Energy Resources under the notion that we were in a world of sharp scarcity in Energy Resources. In fact, we are entering into a very different world in which scarcity of assumptions are being challenged if not replaced, and if you look at who is vulnerable to that, it is front years and particularly those where resources nationalism continues to have a lot of
