And Dan Bosley was in China – on a trade mission

November 14, 2008 By AmberPaw

Dan Bosley also has a blog:

http://danielbosley.blogspot.c…

The November 3, 2008 entry makes clear that for two weeks, Dan was in China.

The inter-connections concept in terms of jobs is interesting – however, what is compelling in getting and keeping jobs, in the long run, is productivity – an hourly wage may look cheaper, but not be.

Further, it is value added and value creation that drive prosperity.  The decline in manufacturing here is a very bad sign.

Hopefully, the “green revolution” will bring back hands on manufacturing jobs.  Humans come in many models – and not all of them are suited to employment in the information field.

    You are correct Amber that the need for manufacturing here in the USA is absolutely critical to our digging out of this financial mess that Wall Street and Insurance Companies have plunged us into. As much as Dan going to China might be seen as a positive unless he comes back with a list of goods and services china want sot buy from Massachusetts it was little more then a waste of time. Certainly a waste of money to send a rep abroad if he was not paying for it himself. ( I have no Idea who paid the bill for the trip lets hope Dan did or he has something to show for it if someone else paid for it) Nice vacation great sight seeing a trip of a lifetime for many but a financial junket not of any substantial value from what can see.

    p>Maybe Sal DeMasi and Therese Murray can put together a tour of Massachusetts for those who do not get out of their districts to see Main streets al across Massachusetts and the pain being felt by small business and families as the credit well continues to be bone dry. This may help to spur the discussions that we need to pay attention to our Hometowns and invest in the infrastructure that will be critical for growth. With out jobs and the incentives to take the risk here in Massachusetts we risk becoming just another victim of this meltdown. So far the Governor through his initiatives in Bio Medical and Alternative Energy may be a stroke of genius on his part and lead to the hope for the future.

    p>Lets hope Dan comes home with some insight into what other industries and infrastructure we can invest in that will grow Massachusetts economy and increase Jobs here not in China.
