SOTU Preview

The Obama administration has already leaked much of what the President will say in tonight's State of the Union Address - a really nice gesture towards those of us who'd prefer to watch sports or a movie or something (anything!), rather than sit through the speech.  So since we already know much of what the President will say tonight (hooray "fairness"!), and since he appears ready to recycle a lot of his old material, I figure I'll recycle some of my stuff for a little SOTU pre-buttal.  Enjoy:

• On the President's Big Plan for Combining US Trade Agencies;
• On "Outsourcing" and "Democrats' 'Plan' to End Tax Breaks for Companies Who Ship Jobs Overseas";
• On "Competitiveness," the President's "Adversary Economics" (aka America vs. the World), and the True State of the US (and Global) Manufacturing Sectors;
• On "Fairness" (re: Trade Policy);
• On the Myths Surrounding China Trade and Currency; and, finally,
• On the Perils of Infrastructure Spending.

That should just about cover it.  If I missed anything (or if the President actually says something new!), I'll be sure to circle back in the coming days.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have ballgame to get to.

UPDATE: Looks like I missed one - in retrospect, really obvious - thing from the big speech: Trade "Enforcement".  But, true to form, it's yet another recycled idea: the President first proposed a Trade Enforcement Team in 2009.
