Doesn't the Senator agree that the new jobs in the future are going to have to be, for want of a better expression, smarter jobs; that is, even someone who repairs automobiles today has to understand computers? You do not just have a wrench and a screwdriver these days to build and repair cars; you have to learn computer skills, maybe programming skills. Isn't it true, if we are going to compete in the world, that we have to spend a lot of time and effort on retraining because of the additional needs in the future, and that is another reason for supporting this amendment?
