1. He's shooting down the charge that public sector workers are higher paid.

2. Now saying part of the problem is our trade policy.

"A fragmented policy that hasn't been working."

"We need a coherent national policy" that helps us create jobs here and, with our trading partners, create jobs there.

[highplainsdem]

3. Saying trade agreements should be geared toward job creation, not corporate profits.

Since "the interests of multinationals have diverged from the interests of this country."

5. Over already. Wish Trumka were given a lot more time.

6. Sounds like he was spewing unwelcome truths.

Telling truth to power tends to shorten your airtime.
