Hardly anyone would have paid attention to the “Economic Report of the President,” released earlier this week, except that it asserted that U.S. job outsourcing is a “good thing.” That apparently hasn’t played well in the heartland. How do we know?
A group of Democratic senators led by Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York introduced a nonbinding sense of the Senate resolution on Wednesday taking the administration to task for Mankiw’s comments.
Ahh yes. One of those meaningful “sense of the Senate resolutions.” That’ll teach them!
Really, I think most people managed to figure out they didn’t like about the report without the Senate’s help.
