So you are suggesting that USA workers move to China to help produce solar panels .
Because once obama started giving away tax dollars to the solar industry , China undercut every manufacturer making solar panels forcing them out of business .
Got any other industries where jobs are plentiful ?

Less than 2% of Latinos voted in the Republican caucus, about 6000 voters. Of those as many as 3200 or as few as 2400 may have voted for Trump. There are 291,000 Latino voters in NV.
The truth is, there aren't that many Latino Republicans in NV, but a few voted for Trump.
46% sounds a lot more impressive. No wonder Trump "loves the poorly educated".

Some seem worried... Trump is an enigma, circus clown, billionaire and a winner.
He is certainly stirring things up.
What will happen when he becomes commander in chief?
Oh my!!

tieguy you have a source?
Exactly, the antithesis of being politically correct... Says what he thinks... that's for sure.
Refreshing and disturbing at the same time.

Annoy a liberal today. Hit them with facts.
Did he fire them?
Did he invent the technology to replace them?
No.
So you can't blame Reagan.

You're missing the point.
Reagan realized that technology was shifting, and that certain sectors would lose jobs as new sectors were being created.
Whether or not he put money into job retraining, I can't say, but at the very least he recognized the situation.
Which is what we should do now in this country - retrain coal and oil workers for different work.
Coal and oil will always remain a vital part of our economy, but the number of jobs will keep dropping. Instead of leaving these workers hanging, retrain them.
We're so schizophrenic about policy in this country.
We can't lose the fundamental capacity for coal and oil, as they are critical (sun doesn't always shine, wind doesn't always blow).
Great example is solar - electric companies are losing their minds because more and more homes are generating their own power with rooftop solar, which cuts into the bottom line of the utilities, who fund and maintain the transmission lines that ultimately hold the electrical grid together.
So what happens? Electric utilities lobby against solar...which isn't the point, but it's so clear that we don't have a plan for moving forward.
Old models are falling apart, and government isn't supplying anything close to coherent policy that would ease the transition.
Just like job retraining - elected officials flap their gums and nothing gets done.
We don't suffer from a lack of amazing ideas, we suffer from an appalling lack of implementation.
