Isn't training on the job the best training? It's been shown over and over again that employers who hire somebody and then train somebody, that's what really advances work more than--we've had lots of job training programs, I've supported…
Thank you, Director Orszag. I would ask--I don't know if we need to send a letter to CBO, but following up on Senator Webb's question--I have the same one--is it possible now for you to do an analysis of some of the later years, in terms…
We know that the upheavals caused by technological change and international competition most acutely affect those who are gaining the least economically--the middle-class and those who aspire to get there.
Do you think anyone takes a job for lesser-paying work if they can get a job for the same or more paying work?
Yet in order for us to expand trade and make significant technological investments to help grow the economy, the middle-class must feel that they will benefit.
Thank you, Director Orszag. As usual, your testimony is to the point, succinct, and focused on the questions we are facing.
Thank you. I want to thank all of our witnesses. We had a multiplicity of viewpoints here, and everyone got to their points. It was great.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for the good work you have done with the Military Personnel Financial Services Protection act which we passed in June, and that did a good job about abusive sales practices.
As a Senator representing more than 115,000 North Carolina-based service members and as a member of both this committee and the Senate Armed Services Committee, this issue is one of my top priorities.

George Bush and his acolyte, Mike DeWine, just care about the people at the very, very top.
Someone has to be held accountable for the leak itself. Not just for perjury. Whether it's Vice President Cheney, 'Scooter' Libby or anyone else in the administration.
AEGIS has had at best a checkered past. And if we want to show our best face to the Iraqis, hiring a company with a record that is hardly exemplary.
You combine the previous record and actions of Spicer and this video, and it just cries out for real investigation.
