That?s Obama?s Jobs Plan?

Most of all, as the president well knows, it?s simply not the case that the typical middle-class American family is severely troubled by a lack of manufactured goods. And if we as a whole aren?t suffering from a shortage of manufacturing outputs, why would we orient our economic structure around making more? The real problems afflicting American families don?t relate to a dearth of manufactured items in the home. The president got at this in his brief remarks on college tuition and his vague allusion to his signature health-care initiative. It is here, rather than in the struggle to manufacture cost-competitive tires, that the American future will be either won or lost. Will the digital revolution that?s transformed publishing and put all the world?s information at our fingertips open the doors of education wider, or will prices keep spiraling out of control? Will America?s enormous health-care spending drive improvements in quality of life or just higher revenues for hospitals and device makers? These questions, along with the still-urgent need to fight the short-term plague of joblessness, were once at the center of the Obama agenda. But as Election Day, dawns they?re at risk of being largely sidelined in favor of cheap and muddled economic nationalism.
