I feel like this is very unfair. In my narrative, the Clinton administration saw the writing on the wall. Jobs would be outsourced regardless. The win-win was to get China into the global economy ASAP and retrain the displaced workers. What happened instead was that retraining budgets were unnecessarily thin because the GOP-lead congress cried "socialism" and funneled all that reduced budgetary outlay to for-profit colleges.

I suspect this comment would be much stronger with some sources that show your narrative to be correct—have sources that document the GOP funneled money earmarked for retraining into for-profit colleges?
