Carol has this host just some of your many comments on facebook host meanwhile, cnn reporting last week as well as this week, talking about something that you dont see very often in what is usually a strong bipartisan vote the senate over approves a rewrite of a federal Workforce Training Program designed to improve job skills and drive down the unemployment rate. Legislation passing the senate by a vote of 95 to three, senators from both parties optimistic that it would clear the house soon before going to the president for his signature, House Republican aides have said that it is uncertain whether the exact path of the senate bill would take shape in the house of representatives. Speaking on this issue is senator Lamar Alexander of tennessee. [video clip] in 1998 Congress Passed the sort of g. I. Bill for workers. The idea was to do what is at the top of every governors agenda in every state right now how can we help more toricans have the job skills fit the jobs . In ranger county last weekend the concerns of the people in tennessee was that it was too hard to find a job, too hard to keep the house. This legislation that we are dealing with today, for the First Time Since 2003 in reauthorizes about 10 billion in funds that will be spent through local councils, through community colleges, through state governments to help individuals in north dakota and washington, tennessee and georgia, have the job skills to find a job. It will make it easier for them and has the great advantage, madam president , of not doing it m washington got washington, but creating an environment in which people can do this for themselves. Senator Lamar Alexander last wednesday on the jobs bill, the first in about a decade. The u. S. Economy shrinks by the most in the last five years, this is a final revision for firstquarter gdp showing the economy contracting about three percent, in part because of the weather conditions during the winter and weak demand causing contraction of the u.

From our twitter page, this comment host we hope that you join in on the conversation at cspan or twitter. Mark is joining us from fort lauderdale, florida. I believe ther best way to create jobs would be to cut the corporate rate in half. It would make us a lot more competitive and we would we would have more jobs than we would know what to do with. A lot of these corporations even have u. S. Names, components, and parts made for them at a corporate rate that are overtaxed. Also believe that we should create our own energy using coal and gas. We can improve emissions. We have enough oil to last for 500 years. I believe that that would help quite a bit. Thank you very much. Host thank you for the call.

Writing about the legacy of howard baker, who of course was famous in the 1970s for his interrogation in the watergate panel, undone by boomer politics they had called him the great conciliator. This morning Dana Milbanks says that by eulogizing him, the echo of henry clays great compromiser, it was a curious choice by senator mitch whose partisan screeds from the senate floor and reluctance to negotiate with harry reid and his record quantity of filibusters have set the tone for the current era of dysfunction in u. S. Politics. Though just 17 years apart, they represent entirely different generations of american leaders. The flag of course or mains at half staff on the u. S. Capitol to pay tribute to the former senator who died at the age of 88 last thursday. The next call is lewis, from dayton, ohio. Good morning. Good morning, lois. Caller i am not a republican, i am a democrat. Host you are on the air, we are glad to hear from you. Dayton, ohio, we lost all of our manufacturing. It is the same way in michigan. I had worked for General Motors. Now we dont handle General Motors. We have all of these foreign investments. Lets get back to making our own stuff. We dont even make the pontiac or the oldsmobile anymore. Although we make now is chevy, buick, and cadillac. We dont need all this other stuff coming in here in this country. They say they make them here . I dont make them near. They assemble them here, but the parts are all made overseas. That is what we lost. We made 26 parts for General Motors cars. In dayton, ohio, more people have lost their homes. It is just unbelievable. We have got to get back. Bring our jobs back. Host guest host thank you for the call. By the way, there was an extensive frontpage story on the New York Times about the neighborhood in detroit that have been decimated because of the job losses and what it means for their infrastructure and tax base, which has lost a significant amount of property. That story is Available Online at nytimes. Com. Just joining us . Listening on cspan radio . We are asking the question what is the best way to create jobs . In part because of the gdp report last week and also the Senate Action on a jobs training bill. This is from one of our viewers Henry Blodgett has written this piece sorry, folks, rich people dont create jobs. Yes, we create jobs temporarily are awhile, and yes, we necessary part of the job creation engine, but to suggest that we, the rich, alone, are responsible for the jobs that 300 millionother americans is the height of self importance and delusion. If rich people dont create jobs, what does . Healthy economic ecosystem in which the middle class has a deal money to spend. It starts with the companys customers. The companys customers buy the and allows the company to hire employees to produce, sell, and service those products. You can read the full story online products. You can read the full story online. Rob, sarasota, how long have you been out of work . Caller several years. Host what did you do before you lost your job . Caller construction inspection services. Housing and Business IndustrialSite Development area but i have not worked for so long. I feel that the job market is filled with jobs that really arent getting the work done that we need done in this society. For instance, there is so much work to be done to weatherize and do things that would help the environment, but there does not seem to be a costbenefit payback on those things in this economy. So, we need to get some kind of public works going that really cleans up our cities that could work on every individual house, which is really a Public Entity to get insulation, windows, and clean up our cities and do the work that we need to do for transportation. Of ae got a degree sort college retraining degree in electrical vehicle manufacturing. That type of work really never develop, so there is no industrial base. Is a marketat there for people doing it, but it really never employed a lot of people. I went to ucla for that. In Environmental Systems engineering that has never really been used. I have an environmental interest, but to me they are doing the work that needs to be done in the environment. They are spending a lot of money trying to fulfill minor regulations and not getting the job done. There seems to be a need for a lot of different approaches to public works, on strap from the Free Enterprise system. We really are not getting the work done that needs to be done. Host thank you for the call there, up early in phoenix, arizona, we appreciate your sharing your story with us. From danny host this obituary that we want to pass away from the l. A. Times the l. A. Times, rawl and at 83, roland king dies the founder of southwest. Irlines in 1967 he was running a small Charter Service that ferried hunters around texas when he sat down to discuss a new Business Plan with his attorney, and airline offering short hauls, frequent flights, and low prices between the major urban hubs. He reportedly used a cocktail not into skip the routes of the airline, linking dallas, theon, and san antonio founder of southwest airlines. On the phoneing us from the hill newspaper, thank you for being with us on a sunday morning. Guest thank you for having me. Host what are the chances of legislation in the house when it comes to job training . A great question. Last week this was passed on a 90 to three vote with wide, bipartisan and senses on this legislation introduced by republican senator johnny isakson, as well as senator patty murray, a democrat. Senator murray has really kind of establish yourself as a bipartisan deal maker, if you will, when you think back to the recent budget negotiation she has done. What this piece of legislation would do is enable some work force and job force Training Programs for disabled veterans, towell as giving them Access College programs to help fill help theumes and longterm unemployed. We just are that compelling story from the caller in phoenix and those are the stories of the people this Program Seeks to help. The chances for how are fairly significant. There could always be a lastminute hick up, but i would itect that to pass the house would need bipartisan support, 90 to three vote, and even the u. S. Chamber of commerce coming out, a conservative organization coming out and saying you know, we would like to see more of the stuff we wanted on our end, but this is a solid bipartisan bill. Host you mentioned patty murray on the forefront of this, this is what she had to say from the floor. [video clip] this bill is clearly the product of many authors. We know that no one gets everything they want and at the end of the day we can proudly say that this bill will help our workers, businesses, and the economy for years to come. Federal workforce programs have proven time and again that the best investment that we can make as a country is an investment in our american workers. I have seen firsthand in washington workers who were laid off and able to get new training, new skills, and new jobs. I have seen so many Washington State businesses, from aerospace to video design that were able to access workers with new skills that they needed to grow and compete. With millions of new jobs requiring post secondary education and advanced skills in the coming years, we will fall behind if we do not modernize our work worse Development Systems now. We have to make sure that when hightech jobs of the 21st century are created, americans are ready to fill them. That is what we have done in this bill. That was senator patty murray last wednesday on the floor. Joining us live on the phone, a reporter from the hill newspaper. Ng back to job creation consider the record, 8 million new jobs created on his watch, rather than achievement this marks the slowest economic recovery in decades, one point 2 million fewer jobs today than 2007, when the recession began asking the question, does the president have a clue about what creates jobs and what kills jobs . Kills jobs . This is by no means a comprehensive package that either side would have liked to see past, but especially in a yearsm election year, six after the economic collapse, i think there is widespread frustration about the pace of the economic recovery. We can talk about the reauthorization bill all that we want, but the bottom line is that unemployment is still hovering above six percent. A six percent unemployment rate. The participation rates of the number of people actually purchase a painting in the workforce are at alltime record lows, a rate we have not seen since the 1970s. There has been debate surrounding the unemployment number that economists would like economists would like to see. Is that even an accurate number . They are not counting the number of people who have been longterm unemployed, saying that they have just given up on. Ooking for a job i think that that
